INTRODUCTION

The five books of Epidemics! presented here have gen-
erally been less well known and studied than books 1 and
3. In Roman imperial times they were judged by Galen
and his predecessors to be “less genuine” than books 1 and
3. Since then they have been less frequently copied,
edited, translated and interpreted. W. H. S. Jones was fol-
lowing that tradition in volume I of the Loeb Hippocrates
when he printed 1 and 3 only, and praised them as “the
most remarkable product of Greek science.” I hope to
make some amends for that here, and, by making all seven
books of Epidemics available, to help to restore these
unique and interesting works to their proper place.

Books 1 and 3 were distinguished from the others at
the time of the formal publication of the Corpus, in the
first or second century A.D., about five centuries after the
time when the works were probably composed. The edi-
tors who made the judgments were ignorant of the origin
and authorship of the miscellany of works attributed to
Hippocrates, as we still are, but from reading the seven
books of Epidemics they easily judged that 1 and 3 were
better, more finished, more ready for publication than the

itinerant physician’s visits to the towns in which he practices, or
more likely to the visitations of diseases in those communities.
(This latter was Galen’s interpretation. )

INTRODUCTION

others, and more unified in style. Further judgments and
conjectures followed: that Epid. 2 and 6 are notes made in
preparation for revising them for publication, and that
either 4 is such notes or 4 was composed by the grandson
of the great Hippocrates. But 5 and 7 were judged to lack
the reserved, theoretical bent of the others and to be more
rhetorically elaborate. Hence they must have been writ-
ten after the great Hippocrates wrote, and perhaps by his
descendants. These conjectures by the editors reflected
their own training and predilections, but strongly affected
the way in which the various books were received and
treated by Galen and thence by those who transmitted
them to us. We are fortunate that these primitive works
were copied and transmitted to us at all. But we must
realize that antiquity’s inferences from style and substance
are not better than our own—in fact not as good in some
respects.

A large part of their attraction is their freshness, one
might even say innocence. They are technical prose from
the time when prose was coming into being and authors
were realizing its potential; unique jottings by medical
people in the process of creating the science of medicine.
In reading the Epidemics one seems to be present while
they are first formulating their descriptions of the way the
body is put together, the way it responds to disease, the
things that make a difference for good or ill, the ways in
which the medical men should intervene. One finds the
authors musing about the nature of their experience, and
planning how to extend and evaluate it, admonishing
themselves, “study this,” “think about that,” and explaining
“this is what I observed, and this is what I made of it.” This
intense intellectual activity is carried forward in primitive,

INTRODUCTION

simple ways: the works have no developed language of
science, no sophisticated methodology, no protocols for
testing theories or correcting the inferences drawn from
them. The Epidemics are also a unique genre. We know of
nothing like them written before or after.2_ But because
they differ from one another, it is not easy, especially if we
include all seven books, to say what we mean when we
speak of their genre.

In language and style they are simple, and at the risk of
some awkwardness I have often tried to mimic them in my
English rendering, though English is not well adapted
to some of the effects of the Greek. To get a sense of
the mind and the prose style of the Epidemics we need to
recall how prose style was developing into a powerful
tool of reflection and persuasion such as Plato and
Demosthenes, for example, exhibit. They are opposites,
one a self-conscious rhetorician, the other a philosopher
who scorned rhetoric. But both as artists are in some ways
at the opposite extreme from the writers of the Epidemics:
both of them developed sentence structures into profound
dramatic media for conveying complex thought and mani-
pulating the audience, each of them working with long,
leisurely sentences, sometimes difficult to understand, but
whose individual elements or clauses are of a length to be
readily comprehensible and are closely related grammati-
cally to what precedes and follows; these clauses all lead
the hearer from beginning through middle to end, using a

series of promises and fulfillments whose effect is to

Guillaume de Baillou and Sydenham, who systematically recorded
catastases in hopes of establishing statistical epidemiology.

INTRODUCTION

mesmerize and to convince of their inevitable rightness
just as their syntax comes clear and their ambiguities are
resolved. At their best, such sentences, along with brief
connecting ones, cumulatively produce increased con-
fidence that they are part of a worthy comprehensive de-
sign. The Epidemics do not exhibit such conscious prose
style, whether from deliberate choice, or because their
writers are unaware of it.? Some stylistic tendencies are
particularly striking. The Epidemics generally deal in
bursts of observation and judgment, reports of cases,
statements of ideas, posing of questions. What they report
or ask will have profound significance, but often it is stated
simply, without indication of how it relates to a larger
design, theory, or observation. “The patient’s extremities
were cool, his center burning hot.” “Tongue peripneu-
monic.” “Bilious excrement.” Syntax is often only juxta-
position, An abstraction is a major achievement, e.g.,
“apostasis,” a term that describes the movement of the
noxious material of the disease towards deposit or excre-
tion. Attaching appropriate verbs and adjectives to the
abstraction is the test of professional competence as well
as of compositional skill: “they [apostases| are best when
they go down from the disease, like [meaning ‘as in the

case of’] varicose veins.”* Much of the search for method
is a search for patterns that will permit analogy, as in this
passage testing how many notions can be transferred from
the waning of the day to that of the year: “In autumn

3 On these as on many other questions it is better to reserve
judgment in consideration of our ignorance of date, authorship,
and intended audience.

' The whole section, 2.1.7, is instructive in the studied attempt
to attach the right evaluative adje ctives to various phenomena.

INTRODUCTION

there are worms and cardialgic ailments (heartburn),
shivering, melancholy. One should watch for paroxysms at
the onset; also in the whole disease: as is the exacerbation
at evening, so is the year at its evening. Intestinal worms
also” (Epid. 6.1.11).

Often the authors seek to reduce general structures
and principles to aphorisms, “opposites cure opposites,”
“purge after crises,” giving an air of confident knowledge,
and making the principles memorable. Satisfactory
presentational structure appears to be most easily
achieved by offering a general truth followed by illustra-
tions, some of which simply illustrate, but some of which
qualify the statement. Sometimes a writer will venture a
judgment that seems naive, e.g., “Intestinal gas is contri-
butory to protruding shoulder blades, for such people are
flatulent.”. Sometimes apparently hard-won inferences
seem banal or tautological. But for the most part, however
fumbling the expression is, the Epidemics give the impres-
sion of sincere, intense, and productive intellection. The
rare methodological formulations confirm our impression
that the particulars are being pursued in the hope of suc-
cessful generalities, e.g., 6.3.12: “The summary conclu-
sion comes from the origin and the going forth, and from
very many accounts and things learned little by little, when
one gathers them together and studies them thoroughly,
whether the things are like one another; again whether the
dissimilarities in them are like each other, so that from dis-
similarities there arises one similarity. This would be the
road (i.e., method). In this way develop verification of
correct accounts and refutation of erroneous ones.”

The freshness and directness of these works have pro-
duced various outrageous claims for them. In Roman

INTRODUCTION

imperial times they were embraced, most eloquently by
Galen, as early monuments of dogmatism, i.e., deductive
rationalism like Plato’s, which started from principles like
“opposites cure opposites” and deduced the rest; by others
they were embraced as models of empiricism, science
based on observation of phenomena without preconcep-
tions, and for this view one could adduce such methodo-
logical statements as the above, and reiterated statements
of what “we must seek.” It is easy to demonstrate that
Galen and others were wrong to read sophisticated dog-
matic theories into the Epidemics.> And yet there is a
kernel of truth there: in part they aspire to the kinds of
answers that dogmatism later produced. Equally, calling
them Empirical is an anachronism. They are not “empiri-
cal” in the proper sense because they do not have the
sophistication that empiricism developed when it was for-
mulated in the centuries after these works, namely scepti-
cal critique of dogmatism and systematic methods for
dealing with observation and for evaluating hypotheses
drawn from it. The Epidemics show great concern for
developing effective method, but their concept of method
is at the beginning. Their attention is on extending their
theory, not on methods of testing and refining it. The
Empiric’s question, “How many observations make
theory?” is far in the future, as is the terminology that
developed along with Empirical analyses. Hence the Epi-
demics exhibit many wild leaps from observation to
finished theory, of the sort that the method of the ancient

5 My book The Hippocratic Tradition, Comell Univ. Press

1979, gives an account of ancient and modern interpretations of
Hippocratic medicine.

INTRODUCTION

Empirics was developed to avoid. Yet, indeed, the Epi-
demics are full of reports of actual observations, and they
show concern with the problems of creating a method, like
the following: “For good physicians similarities cause
wanderings and uncertainty, but so do opposites. It has to
be considered what kind of explanation one can give, and
that reasoning is difficult even if one knows the method’”®
(Epid. 6.8.26).

Besides sharing a general outlook about what medicine
is and what the physician concerns himself with, the indi-
vidual groups of Epidemics have their own personalities.

As has often been observed, Epidemics 1 and 3 are
most finished in composition, though still structurally very
loose. Primarily they present catastases’ with accounts of
the illnesses they produced, and individual case histories,
along with a few methodological observations.

Epidemics 5 and 7 are collections of case histories,

® Galen indicates that there were many interventions by edi-
tors and commentators in the text of this section of Epid. 6, which
indicates to us both great interest in Hippocratic methodology on
the part of the ancients, and great confusion. For example, Gaien
tells us that he is not even reporting Capito’s reading of one sen-
tence, since no one else knows of it. In the physiognomic example
that follows the theoretical statement Galen gives us the “plausi-
ble” reading and interpretation of Rufus of Ephesus but says that it
was Rufus’ own, different from those of the other texts and inter-
preters. For modern discussions, see Manetti-Roselli ad loc., and
Volker Langholf, Medical Theories in Hippocrates, Berlin and
N.Y.: Walter de Gruyter, 1990, p. 206.

7 Catastasis means condition or situation. In medicine it
became a technical term for a description of the dominant weather
and characteristic diseases of a period of time, usually a year.

INTRODUCTION

often grouped by type and subject matter to illustrate vari-
ous subjects of interest. For example, the series 7.64ff and
5.7ff aim at evaluating therapeutic procedures. Some,
especially in 5, express indignation or remorse at the fate
of patients who could have been helped.® The group
beginning at 7.35 is prognostic (what will happen in head
wounds with denuded bone, what will happen in tetanus),
as are others, e.g., 7.56 and 58. Many of the cases in 5 and
7 seem to be sorting out the course of disease in relation to
critical periods and sequences of symptoms. It is worth
notice that the author of 7 leans towards drama in his case
histories.?

Epidemics 2 and 6 show a preoccupation with the way
in which the body is organized and part communicates
with part. Evidence of that concern is shown by Epidem-
ics 2’s unique anatomy of veins and nerves (Epid. 2.4.1—2).
Both works concern themselves with the ways in which the
various parts affect one another: sympathy between lungs
and testicles (2.1.6 and 7), between breast, womb, and
consciousness (6.5.11; 2.6.32), between mucus and semen
(6.6.8). Similarly the works pay much attention to pains
and flows on the same side of the body as the disease (the
catch phrase for it is κατ᾽ Uw, 6.2.5 etc.) and they are also
concerned with exits from the body which the physician

55.15 and 17 report deaths of patients from medicine, 5.27—31
report deaths from failures to treat properly.

° Tendencies are shown by the vocabulary; e.g., Epidemics 7
uses ἐπιεικῶς (“reasonably,” or “somewhat”) 18 times, while Epi-
demics 5 uses it 4 times and the other Epidemics never use it. It
uses σφόδρα (“extremely”) 39 times, while the other Epidemics use
it very rarely (it does not occur in 2, is used once in 4 and 6, and 5
times in 5).

INTRODUCTION

can exploit, including the skin (2.4.22). Epidemics 2 and 6
are not simply interested in mapping such things, they
want to create a technical medicine that will take control
of them. A clear example is given by 2.3.8, in which the
author builds on the assumption that a disease progresses
towards an apostasis, a deposit or excretion of the noxious
disease material, and he considers that his medical craft
should learn how to control it and make it happen: “Create
apostases, leading the material yourself. Turn aside apos-
tases that have already started, accept them if they come
where they should and are of the right kind and quantity,
but do not offer assistance. Turn some aside if they are
wholly inappropriate, but especially those that are about to
commence or are just begun.”!°

This urge to a strong, invasive approach to therapy was
congenial to Galen and to many others, including Empir-
ics, in later antiquity. It has generally been discounted in
post-renaissance times, when, in accord with contem-
porary movements in medicine, a picture was developed
of Hippocrates as an advocate of restrained, expectative
therapy, who trusted in the healing power of Nature. It is
important to appreciate both tendencies in these works.
Epidemics 6 reaches a climax of listing all the kinds of
things that need investigation (6.8.7ff). Galen, the volumi-
nous writer, read that section as a list of topics to be
expanded in rewriting. Modern interpreters, all academics
by profession, tend to read it as a list of lecture topics.
Thus, we read ourselves into these works.

10 Apostasis is used only once in Epidemics 5 and once in 7.
From this we can infer that their authors know the subject but are
not preoccupied with it.

INTRODUCTION

Epidemics 4 is closely related to 2 and 6. It mentions
some of the same cases and discusses some of the same
material, but it has its own personality and style, different
from theirs. Its author seems to emphasize prognosis
especially, collecting numbers of similar cases that differ
in small ways. One of his fascinations is chlorotic coloring.
And he reports how his predictions of the outcomes of
cases fared (note, e.g., 4.35). In 4.25 the author tries to
worry out the variations in tooth and gum infections as
related to sex, age, and differences in timing. He manages
to articulate questions, but he is not explicit about conclu-
sions.

Overall, we get from Epidemics 2, 4, and 6 the impres-
sion of numbers of physicians working in proximity and
communicating with one another. Similarly from Epidem-
ics 5’s comments on other physicians’ errors, we get the
sense of the author in a medical community. But the rela-
tions among, and the dating of, the various groups of Epi-
demics remain doubtful. Apparent coincidences between
the patients of Epidemics 1 and the names of magistrates
in documents on stone found on Thasos make it seem rea-
sonable to date Epidemics 1 around 410 B.c. The other
books of Epidemics could be earlier or later, though their
points of view and assumptions are so similar that one
assumes that they were composed close in time to 1 and 3.
There is nothing except later unreliable tradition to associ-
ate the writing of the Epidemics with Cos and Hippo-
crates.

INTRODUCTION

informative commentaries by Galen which tell us much
about the ancient textual tradition and interpretations.
The commentary on Epid. 2 and parts of the Epid. 6 com-
mentary are lost in Greek but preserved in Arabic. I
sometimes quote the German translation of the Arabic
from the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum. For Epid. 6 we
have commentaries by Palladius and John of Alexandria,
useful more for establishing the text of Galen’s commen-
taries, on which they are based, than that of the Hippo-
cratic mss. I cite them sparingly.

Dialect

The Ionic dialect of the Hippocratic Corpus is not a
spoken language, but a book language whose original
forms cannot be known because of successive corruptions
and corrections of the words in the process of the
transmission of the texts. All the sources of the text,
including the earliest papyrus manuscripts, exhibit consid-
erable inconsistency in their use of the dialect. 13° The
process of adjusting the dialect seems to have been
repeated in each generation as the texts were copied, and

'S There were discussions of, and disagreements about, the
dialect in the ancient commentators and editors, concerning which
we get some, but not much, information from Galen. See his com-
mentary on Fractures 18B 322 Kiihn, in which he says that some
commentators treated Hippocrates’ dialect as Old Attic, and his
commentary on Epidemics 6, CMG 5.10.2.2, p. 483, where he
tells us that the editors Dioscurides and Capito presented all Hip-
pocrates’ works in the Coan dialect (as they understood it). We
cannot attain the truth.

INTRODUCTION

recovery of the original has been put beyond our reach. 4
A scholarly consensus, with which I am in accord, has
developed whereby, in addition to following the tenden-
cies of the best manuscript or manuscripts, editors intro-
duce corrections for a general consistency of inflectional
form, such as αὐτοῖσι, not αὐτοῖς, ποιέουσι. not ποιοῦσι,
etc., and remove the clear hyper-Ionisms, those erroneous
forms that have apparently been introduced into the text
by scribes as elegant “corrections.” I have admitted some
inconsistency into my text. I have only rarely reported
manuscript variations in orthography, when they seemed
interesting or where they might be preferable to the text I
print.

Enclitics

For accentuation of enclitics I have followed the prin-
ciples enunciated by W. S. Barrett, Euripides’ Hippolytus
(Oxford 1964) 424427. In the few cases in which enclitics
come in series 1 treat the group as an accentual unit, e.g.,

EPIDEMICS 2

SECTION I

1. In Crannon® in summer: anthrax. During the hot
weather there was continuous violent rain. It occurred
more with wind from the south. There were watery gath-
erings in the skin. When formed, they grew hot and
caused itching, and then small blisters as though from
burns rose up. They seemed like burns on the skin
beneath.

2. In hot weather when it is dry fevers are mostly free
from sweat. But if there is any rain during them there is
more sweat at the outset. Then their crises are more
difficult than otherwise, but less so if it come from the
nature of the disease and not from that. Causus (burning
fever) occurs more in summer; it occurs in other seasons,
but is drier in summer.

3. Mostly in fall worms and cardialgia. This too is less
harmful than when the disease itself is of that kind.
Round worms similarly are worse in the afternoon and
give most trouble in that part of the day, not simply
because pain is generally greater then, but of themselves.

EPIDEMICS 2.1

4. In fall diseases are most acute and most deadly;
generally similar to exacerbation in the afternoon. The
year has a cycle of diseases, just as the day has of one
disease. As is the exacerbation of the disease in the after-
noon, so is the worsening of each disease and weather pat-
tern relative to each other if there be no change in the
upper air. If there is, these things would commence from
the new weather pattern. Hence, the year, too, is related
to itself in this way.

5. In stable times and years which produce seasonal
things at their proper times, diseases are dependable and
have proper crises, but in unstable years they are unstable
and have bad crises. So in Perinthos when there is
deficiency or excess of wind or calm, with rain or drought,
heat or cold. Spring is generally very healthy and
minimally deadly there.

6. One must examine the beginning of a disease,
whether it comes to full flower immediately—it is clear
in the advancement—and examine the advancements
according to their periods. From this the crises too are
clear, as well as from the exacerbations within the periods
(ie., whether or not they are earlier and whether or not
they continue a longer time, and whether or not they are
more severe). In all continuous or intermittent chronic
diseases, wounds, painful salivation, and swellings, it is
true of inflammation and all other things that appear later,

and probably this applies to all common events, that the
ones that come quicker are shorter in duration, the slower
ones last longer; also within periods, what appears earlier
indicates another subtle progression of the disease: those
who die suddenly have swifter crises, because the suffer-
ing is quick, continuous and strong. But if things are going
to turn to the better at crisis, let them not appear straight
away. Critical symptoms without a crisis: some are fatal,
some indicate a bad crisis. Those that appear in advance
of a crisis: if there is a crisis, there is relapse; otherwise,
lack of a crisis. These too may be deadly if they are not
small. All signs which are critical when they occur also
indicate bad crises when they are absent. Things that give
contrary signs are bad, not only when they run backwards,
but when they incline to the opposite of the original
nature; just so, things inclining the opposite way are a sign
of trouble. One should observe in this way: colors, col-
lapse of blood vessels, swelling of the hypochondria,
upward tendencies, downward tendencies. There are
many things of the kind, such as withering of the breasts in
women who are going to abort. This is not contrary, nor
that chronic coughs stop when a testicle swells. When a
testicle swells from a cough it is a reminder of the relation-
ship of chest, breasts, genitals, voice.

7. Apostases, through the blood vessels, the nerves, the
bones, the tendons, the skin or other diversions. They are
best when they go down from the disease, like varicose
veins, heaviness of the loins. From the upper parts the
best are the farthest below, those of the lowest intestine
and farthest from the disease; also the ones that come by
outflow, as blood from nostrils, pus from ear, expectora-
tion, urine in its outflow. For those who lack these, expect
apostases, for example, in teeth, eyes, nose, sweat. Also
swellings under the skin which push out, for example scro-
fulous tumors and suppurations like ulcers, and similar
eruptions, or peeling skin, loss of hair, leprous skin, scaly
skin, or the like. All abscessions inclining in a mass, not
gradually, and the others that have been described, are
bad if inappropriate for the compass of the disease, as with
Timenes’ niece: from a strong disease it settled in her toe,
which was not adequate to receive the disease. It ran back
up, and she died.* Apostases are either through the blood
vessels, or the intestine, or the tendons, or the skin, or
along the bones or along the spine, or through other exits,
mouth, genitals, ears, nostrils. From the womb, in the
case of the eighth-month child, the critical flows are on the

next day, as it were to the loins or the thigh. Also to the
testicles sometimes from coughs. And the testicle itself
from itself. Apostases from coughs, when they are above
the intestines, do not cure completely in the same way.
Violent nosebleeds cure many ills, as in the case of Hera-
goras. The physicians were unaware of it.

8. There are people who by nature have rough voices,
and whose tongues are somewhat rough, and there is
roughness from disease just so. Voices rough by nature
are so inclined even without disease. Those with soft
voices are slower to show problems; the original nature is
the effective thing. One must consider also what comes
from way of life, e.g., the long heads and the long necks
from bending. The breadth of the blood vessels and their
thickness come from the same causes, and their narrow-
ness, shortness, thinness from the opposite ones. People
whose vessels and intestines are wide also have broad
bones. These people are thin, and fat ones have opposite
characteristics. In those who are wasted with hunger, nor-
malcy must be thought about on the basis of this. For each
thing consider what its growth reduces and what its reduc-
tion increases; and for the increases what kinds of things
are increased with them and what kinds are suppressed.*
And throbbing, what kind is common for the blood vessels.

“Galen suggests that this refers to castration: if the testicles

flourish, other things are suppressed, and vice versa. But perhaps
it refers only to the bones and vessels mentioned just above.

9. Breaks in the peritoneum: around the genitals, they
are mostly harmless for the time being; slightly above the
navel to the right they are painful and produce nausea and
vomiting of feces, as in the case of Pittacus. They come
from blows, stretching, or someone jumping on the
patient. Those cases have swelling between peritoneum
and skin which is not stable.

10. Colors, like those of Polychares: <yellowish, green-
ish,> dead white are to be observed, since everything of
this kind comes from the liver. Thence come hepatic
diseases and among them are the jaundices from the liver
that tend to whiteness, and dropsical diseases and leuco-
phlegmatic ones. Jaundices from the spleen are darker.
Dropsy, jaundice, and a tendency toward sores appear in
those of a whitish lentil color: the skin cracks, and the lips,
as in Antilochus and Aleuas. What comes from the
humors of the body that is salty is to be observed: this
mostly comes under the skin and down from the head
when it is heated from the lung.

11. The point of departure should be studied whence
the patient began to be ill, whether pain is of head or ear
or side. It is a sign in those who have tooth problems and
those who have swellings in the groin. Developing sores

1. A woman had heartburn. Nothing relieved it except
sprinkling barley meal in pomegranate broth. She sur-
vived on one meal daily. Her vomitus was unlike that of
Charion.

2. Changes help unless there is a change toward some-
thing bad. As in those who vomit from drugs in fever: if
the alteration at the end tends towards undigested matter
it indicates sepsis, as with Dexippus.

3. Serapis swelled up from a moist intestine. Itching
after I don’t know how many days; no further develop-
ment. She also had an abscess in the flank which became
black, and she died.

4. The wife of Stymarges was constipated after an
upset of a few days’ duration. Having, after the constipa-
tion, aborted a girl child, she was well for four months,
then suffered from swelling.

5. Moschus, who was severely ill with stone, got a sty
on the upper eyelid towards the ear. Then it ulcerated
inside. In the fifth and sixth days pus broke forth inside.
The matter beneath was relieved by a swollen gland near
the ear, and there was one on the neck in line with the
swollen gland above.

6. The brother of Aristaeus’ wife, who had a mild fever,
grew fatigued on a journey. He developed pustules called
terebinths on his calf. Then there was a continuous fever
and sweating on the next day, and it returned on all subse-
quent even days. The fever continued. His spleen
swelled. There was hemorrhage from the left nostril, fre-
quent but not of great quantity. Then a crisis. On the fol-
lowing day swelling by the left ear. On the following by
the right also, but smaller. The fever increased. The swel-
lings withered away, and did not suppurate.

7. The man who came from Alcibiades, after fever,
swelled in the left testicle shortly before the crisis. He had
an enlarged spleen which he had had always, and which
was then troublesome. The fever reached a crisis on the
twentieth day. Afterwards there was low fever from time
to time and slightly colored expectoration.

8. The girl whose right arm and left leg were paralyzed
after a cough (the cough was brief and insignificant) had
no other change in aspect or intelligence, at any rate noth-
ing extreme. She began to change for the better around
the twentieth day. It occurred about the time her menses
broke forth, which perhaps occurred then for the first
time, since she was a maiden.

9. Neither the father of Apamas (the carpenter whose
head was cracked) nor Nicostratus came down with cough-
ing; but they had pains by the kidneys on both sides. 9b.
Question: is it easier always to satiate with food or with
drink?

10. How can one recognize very serious pains? Pecu-
liar fear, simple treatments, experiences, cowardice.*

11. Water: the quickest to heat and cool is always
lighter.» We need experience as to whether food and
drink have equal staying power.

12. One must say that in hemorrhage patients develop
a greenish color, and one can find many other such things
related to wetness and dryness, to hotness and cold.

13. The sixty-day-old male fetus, aborted after the
delay of childbirth, was healthy.

14-15. Heracleia: in the eighth month (her abortion
occurred) with an evil odor; mostly she was dysenteric—
because there was tenesmus too?¢

16. The nursing woman got swellings all over the body.
When she stopped nursing they disappeared, in summer.

“The meaning here is not clear. The two parts of ch. 10 may
not be related.

b Aph. 5.26 virtually repeats this.

“This passage was quite obscure and corrupt before Galen’s
time. I offer his interpretation except at the end, where, instead of
the question, he says she did not have hemorrhaging.

17. The wife of the leatherworker who made my shoes,
having given birth, thought she had been completely
delivered. She retained some tissues of the afterbirth;
they came out on the fourth day with difficulty. As soon as
she conceived she developed strangury. She delivered a
male child. She was of rather advanced age; she had not
even menstruated in the most recent period. But when
she gave birth, the strangury was relieved for atime.

18. A woman was pained in the hips before she con-
ceived. When she conceived the pain disappeared. But
when she gave birth (at age 20) it again commenced. The
baby was a boy. 18b. A woman carrying in the third or
fourth month had eruptions on the lower left leg and on
the right hand next to the thumb, eruptions of the sort for
which we give frankincense. I do not know what her baby
was. I left her six months pregnant. She lived, I believe, in
Archelaus’ property near the cliff.

19. The wife of Antigenes, of Nicomachus’ house, pro-
duced a child that was flesh with the largest limbs dis-
tinguished, about eight centimeters in breadth, boneless, a
thick globular exterior. She became asthmatic before the
birth. At the time of the birth she brought up a small
quantity of pus, as though from a small abscess.

EPIDEMICS 2.2

20. A woman gave birth to twin daughters. She had
trouble at the birth, the purgation was incomplete. She
swelled up all over. Then her belly became large and the
rest of her went down. The discharge came out red up to
the sixth month, then very white continuously from then
on. The flows were harmful to sexual relations. Pure red
flows of the proper sort did come.

21. When women who are chronically ill with lientery
develop acid belching which was not present before, it is a
very favorable sign, as it was for Demaenete. It might be
possible to induce it. Such upsets produce change. It may
be that acid belching gets rid of lientery.?

22. Lycie was treated with a potion of hellebore.
Towards the end she had an enlarged spleen, pains, fever,
pains towards the shoulder. The blood vessel from the
spleen was tense at her elbow. It throbbed frequently, but
sometimes did not. No phlebotomy, but it passed with the
sweat or spontaneously, the matter passing to the outside.

4 Galen says in his commentary (how he claims to know this is
unclear, but perhaps through Heraclides) that he is reproducing
the original old reading of the manuscripts: πρὸς δὲ τἀφροδίσιον αἱ
οὐραὶ ἔβλεπον (“The woman’s tail pointed toward the Temple of
Aphrodite”), but that commentators changed it to read πρὸς δὲ
τἀφροδίσια ai ovpal ἔβλεπον (“Her tail inclined toward sexual
intercourse”), and Artemidorus Capito altered the text to πρὸς δὲ
τἀφροδίσια οἱ poo ἔβλαπτον (“The flows were harmful to sexual
relations”), which is the reading of all the medieval manuscripts.
Galen praises the conjecture offered by Heraclides, πρὸς δὲ
τἀφροδίσιον ai θύραι ἔβλεπον (“The door of her house opened in
the direction of the Temple of Aphrodite’).

b Aph. 6.1 seems to have been drawn from this passage.

EPIDEMICS 2.2

The spleen on its right was stretched tight; breathing
doubled in frequency, but without great depth. She
became delirious. She was wrapped up.* She was full of
wind which did not pass. No feces and no urine. She died.

23. Prior to giving birth, affections in the area of the
pharynx, inclining to one side or the other, were not
ulcerous when they commenced. They moved to the left
side. Pain came on the spleen, without crisis. 23b.
Hieron’s disease reached climax on the fifteenth day. 23c.
The sister of the man from Cos had her liver elevated in a
splenic manner. She died. 23d. Bion urinated excessively
without sediment, and bled from the left nostril. And
indeed his spleen was swollen and hard on the top. He
survived. There was a relapse.

24. People with cynancus? had the following affec-
tions: neck vertebrae inclined inward, some severely,
some less so; on the outside the neck had a conspicuous
hollow which was painful to the touch. Sometimes it was
lower than the so-called odontoid process (second verte-
bra), and was less acute, but in some cases very rounded,
with a greater circumference than if it was not at the odon-
toid process. The pharynx was not inflamed, but quiet.

ἃ Or “she suffered general contraction.”

b The term refers to a severe sore throat that feels like a dog's
choke collar.

EPIDEMICS 2.2

The area under the jaw was swollen, but without similar
inflammation. The glands were not swollen, but normal.
Sufferers could not easily move their tongues, which felt
larger and somewhat protruding. And blood vessels under
their tongues were very obvious. They could not drink, or
only with difficulty. Drink passed into the nostrils if they
forced it. And they talked through the nose. But breath-
ing was not excessively shallow. Some had elevated blood
vessels in their temples and in the head and neck. To an
extent, in those with exceptional malignancy, their tem-
ples were hot, though they were not otherwise feverish.
Most did not choke, save when they too eagerly swallowed
down their saliva or something else. Their eyes were not
fixed. People whose swelling was straight on, not on one
side, did not develop paralysis, and as for dying, if I saw
anyone I will recall it. All I can think of now survived.
Some cases were quickly eased, but most extended to forty
days. Many had it for a long time, retaining part of the
swelling; and there were drinking symptoms and the
symptomatic voice, and the uvula shriveled and showed
withering, though it appeared to have no ill effects. Those
whose swellings were on one side were paralyzed on
whichever side the vertebrae inclined to, and were drawn
up on the other. This was evident in the face especially,

and in the mouth, and the division below the uvula. The
lower jaw was deviant proportionately. The paralysis did
not occur over the whole body, as in other diseases, but
only as far as the hand. When expectorating even ripened
material from the cynancus these produced little with
difficulty, while those with the affection in the center spat
it right out. Those with fever had much more difficulty
with breathing and drooled when they talked, and their
blood vessels were more elevated. All had very cold feet,
but these last especially. They had more difficulty stand-
ing erect, even when they did not die immediately. All I
am aware of did die.

1. We arrived in Perinthus in summer, near the sol-
stice. The winter had been mild, southerly. Spring and
summer were quite dry until the setting of the Pleiades. If
there was rain it was showers. The Etesian winds hardly
blew. The winds that did were intermittent. Causus
(burning fever) was epidemic in the summer. Patients
were without vomiting, intestines were upset, with light,
watery, unbilious, frothy stools frequently; when left to

stand they often separated, if they were exposed to the air
there was something blue like the woadlike excrement;
they were always foul. Many patients suffered coma and
delirium, some developed it during sleep, but when they
woke they were entirely sane. Their breathing was shal-
low, but not very much so. Most had thin urine, and little
of it, but still not colorless. There were no hemorrhages
from the nose save in a few cases, no swollen glands by the
ears, save for some that I will describe later. Spleens not
elevated, nor was the right hypochondrium very painful
nor stretched very tight, but it was indicative. Most
reached complete crisis at about fourteen days, a few with
sweat, a few with shivering, and there were relapses fora
very few. When there were showers in the summer, sweat
appeared on the fevered patients, and some produced
sweat initially—but not in a bad way. And for those ill at
that time the crisis, too, came through sweat. In the sum-
mer fevers there appeared on the seventh, eighth, and
ninth days roughness on the skin, granulous, very like bites
of gnats, not very itchy. They persisted until the crisis. I
did not see these eruptions on any male, and none of the
women who had them died. But when they appeared the
patients became hard of hearing and comatose. Women
who were going to develop them were not comatose
beforehand. And it did not persist throughout. But they

were comatose and sleepy through the summer and to the
setting of the Pleiades, whereupon they were sleepless
instead. But generally no one died in this condition. It
was not possible to stabilize the intestine even with small
amounts of food: it would have been irrational to think
treatment helpful; and yet some passed excessive amounts
of excrement.

1b.* Lying in the cold covered, in order to breathe cool
air but to be warmed: this sort of treatment is more
gradual. lc. When the affections do not accord with the
patient’s nature: look at the circumstances and type of the
signs, increasing or becoming fewer: yawning, cough,
sneezing, stretching, belching, flatulence, everything of
that sort. 14. Women abort who, along with fevers,
nausea, shivering, develop red faces. le. Fatigue, eye
pains, heaviness in the head, paralyses, and whether men-
struation appears, and especially when it is the first
occurrence. And both for maidens and women, those for
whom it lasts long, those for whom it is at a time different
than it ought to be, after which they become very pale.
Important in each case: the sequence and the time and
circumstances. If. For the very bilious. especially in fev-
ers, the purge is generally to the legs.°

2. We know the characteristics of drugs, from what
ones come what kinds of things. For they are not all
equally good, but different characteristics are good in dif-
ferent circumstances. In different places medicinal drugs
are gathered earlier or later; also the preparations differ,
such as drying, crushing, boiling, and so on (I pass over
most things); and how much for each person and in what
diseases and when in the disease, in relation to age,
appearance, regimen, what kind of season, what season
and how it is developing, and the like.*

3. Zoilus, who lived by the wall, after a ripe cough, had
acute fever and redness of face, stoppage of the intestines
save when constrained. Pain in the left ribs, and the ear
and head were very painful on the corresponding side.
Thus he continued ill throughout, spitting up somewhat
purulent matter. But other symptoms reached a crisis,
and much pus broke through by the ear on the eighth or
ninth day. The beginning of the pain in the ear was
somehow without shivering. He reached crisis. He, too,
sweated much about the head.

ἃ Galen’s commentary on this passage is close to our text, but
his citation of the passage in Theriac to Piso differs considerably in
its words, though not in import. It appears that this passage
became famous and developed a special text through repeated
citations in drug books.

4, Empedotime had intense heat and pain in the upper
part of the left torso, together with the ear, especially at
the shoulder blade, but also in front. Much expectoration,
florid at the beginning, tending to be concocted about the
seventh or eighth day. The bowels were stopped, to about
the ninth and tenth day. The pain was stopped. There was
swelling inside, and sweat came on. But there was no
crisis. That was clear from other factors and from the
excrement. At the beginning of the ear pain the stomach
was upset. There was a breaking forth from the ear on the
ninth day and the disease reached crisis without shivering
on the fourteenth day. On the same day the expectoration
came more vigorously. Riper matter broke forth towards
the ear. Subsequently there were sweats on the head for a
long time. There was drying. 4b. Whatever disappears
about the third day without signs indicates an unfavorable
crisis, like the erysipelas of the young daughter of
Polemarchus.

5. Fevers following swollen glands are a bad thing
unless they last one day, and swollen glands following fev-
ers are worse in acute diseases if they pass their prime
near the beginning.

stretching neither way. After that a rounding on the right
side like a suppurated round area or another that is more
elongated, another that is broken up, another that goes
downward, with stretching this way and that as far as the
navel. In the upper waist generally if there is bulging it is
trapped in that region. If it is wind it is relieved without
crisis by heat. But if it evades that it will move toward sup-
puration.

ἃ Galen quotes this passage in two ways, both different from
this, in De diff. resp. (K 7.891.13 and 895.18). It had been refined,
perhaps, by later medical theorists, but our manuscripts seem
credible.

6 Galen comments on the solecism, breather for breathing.

were given; feces were not exhibited, but the urine was
thick and turbid with smooth and even and stable sedi-
ment. Afterwards his belly was softer, his spleen became
elevated and tended to hang down. As drink he took
honey and vinegar water. On the tenth day a small amount
of watery blood from the left nostril, not a very small
amount, nor sickly, and urine containing a suspension; and
under the suspension it put a light deposit on the vessel,
not like semen but not unlike it. This disappeared shortly.
On the next day a crisis, and he was without fever. He
passed sticky material on the eleventh day, and the little
surrounding fluid was bilious. Much purging of urine in
quantity and in sediment, and before he began to drink
some wine <there was white sediment, afterwards> a kind
of scum. He passed, on the eleventh day, although there
was no great quantity, slimy, feces-like turbid matter.
Does such excrement indicate crises, as did that of
Antigenes?

And in those with podagra the illness around the joints is
of that sort. This is the nature of bones and the cause of
the hardening and the contraction.

13. The disease of Hippostratus’ wife, after a year-long
quartan, reached the apex. There was an accession of visi-
ble chill all over the body, and sweat. She reached crisis
on that day. Afterwards, there were menstrual flows
rather great in quantity and time. For then she had
retained them. There seemed to be no apostasis that
stayed.#

14. In hemorrhages that throb, one must find a good
posture. In general it is preferable if the hemorrhaging
parts be put above instead of much below. You should
know, too, the bindings send the blood forth in phlebo-
tomy, but tight ones hold it back.

15. I think that the sanguine and bilious tend to acid
eens. and perhaps for those patients it ends in black
bile.

16. For women shivering commences from the flanks,
through the back to the head. For men, too, it is more in
the back. They shiver in the interior more than the exte-
rior of the body, such as the lower arms and legs: the skin
is porous, as the hair of animals proves.°

In his commentary Galen has a different text for the last two
sentences: “She let it run and considered it not good to stop the
expulsion.” The text of the paraphrase in the Pseudo-Galenic De
causa affectionum (Helmreich p. 18) might be taken to mean “she
persisted rather than decide to stop it.”

17. Women to whom nothing happens in the
prescribed time have viable babies. Additional symptoms,
in what months they occur: pains come in cycles. What
moves in seventy (days), is completed in three times
(seventy). The fact that after menstruation there is gaping
on the right, the left. BE because of what is com-
ing on; dryness of regimen? Pains occur around the third
day after fifty (days have gone by), the sixth after one hun-
dred. Monthly ones in the seeond and fourth (months).
What should be known for the seven-months child.
Whether the nine months should be numbered from the
menses or from the conception; whether the Hellenic
months contain two hundred seventy days, and whether
there is an addition to those; and whether the same (calcu-
lations) are made either for males or for females, or the
opposite. Harsh food and drink cause flatulence, and gas

ἃ Chapters 17 and 18 are loosely organized aphorisms. While
there is unique material here some of these statements occur,
often in slightly different versions and in different contexts, else-
where in the Corpus, and it often is not clear whether one of the
versions is a purposeful rewriting of the other (and which one of
which), or whether there have been errors in transmission. In the
gynecological aphorisms at the beginning of ch. 17, Galen’s com-
mentary often agrees with Epid. 6.8.6 against our text here, and
Galen quotes at one point Epid. 6's “better version,” but what he
quotes is not in our Epid. 6. This tells us only that different ver-
sions were in circulation. I have tried to follow our Hippocratic
manuscripts here, but have occasionally chosen better versions
from elsewhere oe sense required.

in the area of the head is caused by unwholesome living.*
Growth, until the bones become solid. The cycle of men-
struation: the heaviness before it is akin to the pains at
eight months. Milk appears before the birth when there is
a surplus of nutriment and the eight-month period is
complete.? When wounds are severe, if the swelling does
not appear it is very bad. The best swellings are loose.°
When material remains above it is more harmful, there-
fore menstruation. Symptoms connected to the eighth
month stretching to the tenth month are bad.

18. Those who have swellings at wounds do not have
convulsions or delirium. When swellings disappear sud-
denly, those whose wounds are behind will have spasms
with pain, those whose wounds are in front will have
delirium or sharp pains in the side, or bright red dysen-
tery. Swellings that are eased for no apparent reason are a
deceitful sign (as in the case of Andronicus’ child, where
the erysipelas returned) unless by returning to the same
state they offer a favorable sign. This affection by the ear
which was congenital was dispersed towards the pubis,4

ἃ ἀκρησίαι = “Ausschweifung,” “loose behavior,” in Galen’s
commentary, where he remarks that it refers not only to sexual
activity, but generally to one’s manner of living.

δ Galen omits the following three sentences, “When ... men-
struation.”

d Some ancient commentators interpreted this to mean “was
dispersed as he neared adolescence.” Galen read a quite different
text: “From birth they came continuously one after the other . . .”

1. The liver vein is in the loins as far as the great verte-
bra below, and it gives forth on to the vertebrae. From
there it rises through the liver and through the diaphragm
to the heart. It goes straight from the heart to the clavi-
cles, and at that point some veins bend to the neck and
some towards the shoulder blades, and some bend down
and incline along the spine and ribs. From the left side
one near the clavicles, from the right another, bending off
slightly lower, gives forth on to the ribs from the place
where that one left off, until it meets the one at the heart
itself as that one bends off to the left. And turning back on
to the vertebrae it descends until it arrives at where it
began to ascend, giving out on to all the remaining ribs,
and on this side and that it gives branches to each, though
it is single.

From the heart to an area it is more on the left; then it
is below the artery until it is used up and arrives at the
place from which ‘the liver vein ascended. But before it
arrives there, it divides by the last two ribs. One part goes
on one side of the vertebrae, the other on the other side,
and they are used up. .

The straight vein stretching from the heart to the collar
bone is more above the artery, and away from it, just as, in
the loins, it is below the artery. It hurries to the liver, one
part to the gates and the lobe, the other heads off to the
other area from which it started out, a little below the
diaphragm. The diaphragm is attached to the liver and
cannot be easily separated. There are pairs of veins that
go, one on one side, the other on the other, from the clavi-
cles under the chest to the lower belly. Where they go
from there I do not yet know. The diaphragm is at the
vertebra below the ribs where the kidney separates from
an artery, and the diaphragm besirides the artery. The
arteries grow out from it, on one side and the other, an
artery having a nerve. At this point the liver vein, having
run back down from the heart, leaves off. And from the
liver vein through the diaphragm the two largest veins are
carried above, one on this side, one on that. And there are
many branching veins through the diaphragm, and they

grow around it, but above the diaphragm they are more
visible.

2.4 Two nerves go from the interior of the head under
the bone of the great vertebra above and more in front of
the esophagus; proceeding on both sides of the trachea
individually they come to themselves so as to be as one.
Then where the vertebrae and the diaphragm join they
end and some obscure ones seem to go towards liver and
spleen from that juncture. Out of the vertebrae on each
side a nerve stretches along the backbone out of the
oblique parts of the vertebrae and distributes to the ribs.
Like the blood vessels these seem to me to stretch through
the diaphragm to the mesenterion, and they stop at that
point. But again from where the diaphragm is attached
they are continuous down the center below the artery for
the rest of the way and give forth along the vertebrae like
the blood vessels until they are used up as they arrive at
the sacrum.

“This unique early description of the nerves is somewhat
obscure. Though the author calls them tonoi and uses the verb
teinein, “stretch,” words appropriate for a bowstring and suggest-
ing that the nerves are for pulling, he seems also to speak of them
as channels like the blood vessels.

3. In Aenus those who continually ate beans during a
famine, both men and women, became weak in the legs
and continued so. And those who ate vetch had knee
ailments.*@

4. It is appropriate to induce anger for the sake of res-
toring color and humors, also to induce happiness, fear,
and the like. If the rest of the body is ill also, it should be
treated at the same time. Otherwise just this.

5. The house servant of Stymarges, who did not even
bleed when she bore a daughter, had the mouth of her
womb retroverted. She had pain in her hip joint and leg.
Phlebotomy at the ankle relieved her. But trembling
seized her whole body. One must approach the cause, and
of the cause, the source.

nose, large eyes, are good. Hydropics are gray-eyed,
ruddy, sharp- ‘nosed, unless they be bald. Varicosity
resolves weakness of voice on to the left and the right testi-
cle. Without one or the other it cannot be broken up.
Large, bald, lisping, weak-voiced, good. However, those
who lisp, who are bald, weak-voiced, or shaggy, have
melancholic affections.

2. Those who stammer with the tongue and cannot
control the lips must, when that is resolved, become
empyemic. That is resolved by severe pain in the lower

4. If the bone of the head be broken, give milk and
wine, half and half. If there be a wound, phlebotomize the
inner veins unless there be fever. If there is delirium, soak
the head unless the hypochondria are swollen. If there is
headache, it proceeds to the chest, then to the hypochon-
drium, then to the hip joint—they cannot all be in pain at
once.

5. For flatulence, phlebotomy.

6. Restrain the flow by anointing with the drug. For
this flow is from the great vein. If there is much flow spon-
taneously, let the patient fast except for milk, two parts of
water, four of milk. To women who are barren give a
vapor bath and apply drugs.

7. For those who have sudden loss of voice, if they are
without fever, phlebotomize.

8. Fluxes of phlegm: the eyes draw from the breasts
and it regurgitates through the nose to the lungs.

9. For those with a dry cough: it is not resolved save
with a sharp pain in the hips, or the legs, or the testicle.

10. If a cough possess one with dropsy, if he faint sud-
denly, use all heating treatments. If not, fortify him with
wine, fill him with food, and phlebotomize the inner veins.

11. When the great malady (epilepsy) occurs with
rigidity,* the resolution comes with pain in the hips, turn-
ing about of the eyes, blindness, swelling of testicles, swel-
ling in the breasts.

12. If, in one who has a fever, the area of the face is
thin on a productive day, there will be a resolution on the
following day.*

develops a cough.

14. If the ear be pained, let the patient use milk.

15. Ifa fever does not remit on a productive day, it will
necessarily recur.

16. One whose blood vessel at the arm-bend throbs is

the head in warm water.

18. For heartburn give warm bread and neat wine.

19. To cure vomiting, give warm water to drink, and let
him vomit that.

20. For ulceration, separate the vein, wound it, and
induce healing.

21. For spasm of the fingers without fever, open a vein
unless there be pain in the head. Otherwise pour on warm
water.

22. For eyes, a twelfth part of spodium, a fifth part of
saffron, one part of “pit,” one of white lead, one of myrrh.
pene water over the head and give garlic with barley
cake.

ἃ γόνιμος is a frequent word in sections 5 and 6 of Epid. 2, but
not elsewhere in ancient medical texts in the same connections. I
translate it as “productive.” Aph. 4.61 has a version of this same
aphorism in which it substitutes the word πέρισσος, “uneven.”

b Some ingredients here are obscure. Spodium is probably an
oxide, e.g., of copper, “pit” is probably the stone of a fruit or a
lump of frankincense.

SECTION 6

1. If the head is large and the eyes small, if they are
stammerers, they are quick to anger. People who are
long-lived have more teeth. Stammerers and rapid talkers
are severely melancholic. People who do not blink are
quick to anger. Those with large head, large dark eyes,
thick, blunt nose, are good. Blue eyed, large. .. -b Those
with small head, thin neck, narrow chest, are equable. If
one’s head is large he will not stammer or be bald unless

his eyes be gray.

4 Cf. Aph. 5.49.

b Galen’s commentary, as read and translated by Hunain Ibn
Ishaq, presents this sentence thus: “Those with bright blue-gray
eyes, large head, short neck and broad breastbones are prone to
anger.” Galen’s commentary reports much discussion of this phy-
siognomic material among ancient commentators, medical people,
and others. What Epid. 2 has to say is not out of line with ancient
physiognomic lore.

2. Spasms: the voice is released on a productive day.
He is freed from the great disease (epilepsy).

3. Ifa woman who has given birth has fever and pain,
pour water over her, give her thick barley gruel, warm,
thrice daily.

4. Children are nurtured in the seventh month, or the
ninth, or tenth. They are established in speech, strength
follows, they control their hands. When the voice is
released, everything is released, for one’s nature is like
speech, and it is set free on a productive day.

5. If the veins in the arms throb and the face is strong
and the hypochondria be not sunken, the disease becomes
chronic. It is not resolved without spasm, or much blood
from the nose, or pain in the hips.

6. For the throat, pour warm water over the head
unless the weather be cold. Otherwise give meal as hot as
possible, and undiluted wine.

7. For upset intestines, give boiled beans unless the
upper intestine be saturated (bilious), or give cumin to
nibble with the beans.

8. Removal of the illness could not occur save on a pro-
ductive day, nor could it begin except on a barren day and
month, but in a productive year.*

* One is tempted by Erotian’s interpretation, “odd” and “even”
for “productive” and “barren,” but there is force in Galen’s argu-
ment here in favor of interpreting “critical” and the opposite.
Galen tries to connect these to the critical numbers in other Hip-
pocratic works, especially Prognostic, which contain both odd and
even numbers, 4, 7, 11, etc. (see Loeb Hipp. vol. I). I do not feel
that I have made out just what the author or assembler of these
aphorisms had in mind. Galen relates this and the following
aphorism to epilepsy.

9. Egyptian nitre (sodium carbonate) and coriander
and cumin: grind them, add to anointing oil, and apply.

10. All deaths must occur on a productive day, in a pro-
ductive month and a productive year. And one might be
able correctly to predict death or severe pain. For exam-
ple, if the eyes do not function, death will come quickly. If
it be in a productive year they (day and month) are neces-
sarily productive from the two of them, but if it is in an
unproductive year and on an unproductive day, the death
will necessarily come on a productive day.*

11. Innumbering, the third day is the most powerful.

12. For sore throat and ophthalmia, phlebotomy.

13. When the intestine is wounded, breath comes
below by the wound invisibly, and the chest is emptied.
Give milk and wine in equal proportions.

14. Those whose chest is saturated? stammer, tend to
mania, are bald. Those of them that are congenitally cock-
eyed are witless, silly, or maniacal. If not, there is a cure
for the other evil.

15. The right breast and the right eye have the greatest
force with regard to nature. The same with the lower
parts, also because the male is engendered on the right.

4] find the Greek here translatable, though not entirely
coherent. Two of the three productive times (day, month, year)
must coincide. It is still not clear what produces productiveness.
Galen reads this section as three distinct aphorisms, of which he
considers the first true (interpreting productive as critical). The
second, on prediction, he considers potentially true but badly put.
The third he takes to be a statement about birth and death in
which productive and its opposite mean even and odd. That he
considers un-Hippocratic nonsense.

b Galen interprets “hairy”; “bilious” is the common interpreta-
tion.

1. After the equinox and the Pleiades, the affections
were like consuming ulcers and mucous sores. The man
whose head I opened had drainage behind the ear, the one
in Leocydes’ house on the foot. Phanodicus’ toes were
towards the ball of the foot. The man whose calf was cut
developed a blackness on the outside of the calf where
there was a large ulcer, which spread from the rear. After
it became clean he had pain in the ribs and chest on the
corresponding side, the left, and fever. He died from the
fever.

2. The biliousness of the ropemaker was extreme, and
the caustic fever. He was prostrated by it around the
equinox and passed much blood below. An old man lost
much, not before fourteen days. The branded slave near
Antiphilus’, who had caustic fever with crisis on the
seventh day, biliousness and delirum, had the same evacu-
ation on the third day after the crisis. He spat up blood.
He survived and had a later relapse. It is likely that the
first crisis was around the setting of the Pleiades. And
after the setting of the Pleiades he was bilious to the extent
of madness. A crisis about the ninth day, without sweat-

3. Near the equinox, the Chalcedonian carried from
the gates to the agora, with a fracture, severe pain by the
right breast, spat greenish matter periodically. His belly
did well. Sweat, beginning on the seventh day, was practi-
cally continuous until the eighth. Crisis on the fourteenth.
About the fortieth he had mild swellings by both ears. It
appeared he would become purulent. He did not.

4. The chest of Philis’ son Aristodemus was cauterized.
He, too, developed his affection from a fall. A pain in the
upper area was the beginning for him.

5. Relapses after the fall equinox, and generally until
the winter solstice.

6. At the summer sol(stice), Achelous’ wife aborted on
the sixth day, with vomiting and shivering. There were
sweats, crisis on the fourteenth day. How many months
pregnant I do not know. She said that (she had lost)
another, a male, towards the twentieth day. I do not know
whether that was true.

7. There was northerly weather toward the winter sol-
stice. Patients became thoroughly jaundiced; some
shivered, some did not. Their tongues were burnt on the
third day. Upsets toward the sixth and seventh, which
lasted a long time, to the fourteenth day. Intestines held
back, not obedient to purgatives as they are in fevers. No

sweating. Some had small, hard spleens. They had tension
toward the right hypochondrium, rumbling when felt by
the hand. Hemorrhages, purging by urine, and crises fol-
lowed. But those whose affections did not follow this
course (and they were far more numerous in that period)
were bound up below. Their spleens were swollen; they
had hemorrhage from the left nostril. Then the sun
turned, winter was stormy and northerly and a little later
southerly for fifteen days. Then it was snowy for fourteen
days. In that part of the year jaundices, deep-colored
ones, without clear crises; tendencies to relapse. After the
snow, southerly weather and rains came on. Flows of
phlegm broke through, both with and without fever. It
went to the teeth of one who had previously had pain from
the center to the right around the eyebrow and eye. There
were hoarseness and inflamed pharynxes. The glands
called sponges retained it. and soft swellings developed
beside the ears and by the jaw with fever. At the beginning
the fever occurred in the upper regions and on both sides
for the most part, and the sponges for some towards fall
and winter, and also the scrofulous eruptions. Many
women aborted in many fashions, and had difficult births.
For the maiden, reaching crisis on the sixth day, it
returned on the sixth and reached crisis on the sixth. All
affections reached crisis on the sixth or eighth day in that
period.

8. Near the setting of the Pleiades the wife of blind
Maeandrias suddenly started spitting greenish purulent
matter. Near the sixth day infection (lit.: fermentation) of
the liver, small bowel movement. Purulence of flesh
above. She spat up a few white flat fragments, could not
eat. Died near the twentieth day.

9. The servant of Thestor’s neighbors: after caustic
fever, continuous bilious excrement, hypochondrium
tight; on the sixth day, after being bound up, her intestine
passed, once, much thin matter. She began straightway to
sweat, and reached a crisis. Her bowels settled. Towards
the same hour her fever and shivering recurred, and again
towards the same hour.

10. Thersander’s wife, slightly leucophlegmatic, was
nursing; she developed acute fever. Her tongue was
burned, and she was parched generally at that time. Her
tongue grew hard like thick hailstones, and there were
worms in her mouth. Incomplete crisis about the twen-
tieth day.

11. At the setting of the Pleiades, the boy from Metro-
phantus’ house, wounded in the head with a potsherd by
another child, became feverish after twelve days had
passed. The explanation: the woman who washed the
wound rubbed the area around it and it took a chill. The
lips of the wound puckered and the skin all around it grew

thin. He was trephined without delay, but no pus ran off,
nor was he eased. It was expected that he would fester
beside the ear, at the jaw, on the left side (that was the side
of the wound). As it happened, that failed to fester, and
the right shoulder quickly developed an abscess. He died
around the twenty-fourth day.

12. After the setting of the Pleiades, around twenty
days later the man with ear trouble lost his voice and had
loss of faculty on the right side. Sweat without fever. The
right ear and right eye would not stabilize, and there was
drawing from the part below. On the left he squinted as
from pain. His neck became hard perhaps about the same
time. Afterward his pain recurred.

13. After the setting of the Pleiades the servant of
Atticus, taken by a quartan, settled into a coma. Another
at the same season, genuine typhomania.* Pain came into
the hips and legs, stopped, I don’t know which day. At that
time they had shivering, vomiting, no appetite after the
crisis, were bilious. Spleens large, hard, painful and
hemorrhagic. Some in the same season after the setting of
the Pleiades had bilious blood from the nose in affections
of the spleen.

a Typhomania: the word “comatose” in the previous sentence
is typhodes; typhomania, as Galen says in his glossary, should
mean lethargy with delirium, although elsewhere he indicates that
there was doubt about the meaning in antiquity.

EPIDEMICS 4

14. In Crannon, Nicostratus’ wife, who had had a
seizure, on the fourteenth day suddenly experienced
weakness in the neck and other parts, and food was shut in
(constipation?) till the tenth. Fast, shallow breathing, loss
of control, groping around with the fingers, delirious talk,
sweat. Neck drawn to the right, also her mouth, eye, nos-
tril. There was one sediment in her urine: white, like
vetch seed; another, white, like scrapings; another, yellow-
ish, like egg yolk. With that one sometimes a scum like fat;
it was thick, not much dispersed, like the separated,
suspended matter that occurs after urine has been
withheld. Some was of that sort, some quite stable. In
another instance a small amount of that kind scattered
over a flat plane. In another instance it was turbid.
Another: suspended matter of blackish clouds, that
appeared to have thickness but were unsubstantial. In
another instance it was thin; another of that kind but thin
suspended matter. Another was like that of a horse, and
another opaque.

15. The first to have delirium, a young man. His urine
pure and thin. Much feces of all sorts, thin, not bilious.
Tongue very hard. Burning fever, sleepless, belly bulging.
He was delirious on the eighth day, I think, in the i irrepres-
sible way: leapt up, fought, used very foul language. (He

wasn’t that type.) He passed great quantities of thin urine
after retention. He developed continuous sleep, and
sweat which seemed critical, after not being so, perhaps
towards the tenth day. Then his madness resumed and he
died suddenly on the eleventh day. The cause, I think: he
drank much undiluted wine just before going mad. He
was near twenty years old.

16. In the fall Eumenes’ wife vomited black bile.
There was an obvious odor; fever with shivering; bilious
heartburn; she vomited small quantities, including worms.
She had thin bowel movements throughout.

16b. Before the setting of the Pleiades and for a time
near them, hemorrhages, briefer fevers which tended to
relapse immediately with brief relapses. They were
unable to eat, languid, nauseous, cardalgic, had worms at
the crisis, shivering, biliousness.

17. The young foreigner, on the third day, much blood
from the nostrils, also on the fourth and fifth. It stopped
on the sixth. He was delirious in a decorous way on the
seventh. His bowel was stopped. He was comatose.
Downturn on the third day, bowel let loose from being
stopped. I do not know how the urine was. At the crisis it
was as it should be.

erly and rainy. A young man, feces mucous, bilious, ripe,
slimy, frequent. Continous fever. Dry tongue. Crisis on
the sixth day. It seized him again on the seventh, but
departed the same day with trembling. Thick, sticky flow
from the left ear on the sixth day.

19. The child with the phagedaenic ulcer (eroding
sore): his lower teeth and the upper ones in front floated
out, leaving a hollow. In those whose bone goes away from
the palate, the nose sits down in the middle; in people
whose upper front teeth are missing, it has a flattened tip.
The number five tooth was separated from the first four,
whose roots joined into two—each of the neighboring
teeth joined—all of the tips were bent inward. There was
more festering around the third tooth than around any
other, and thick flows from the nostrils, and pains in the
temples came especially from this one. This tooth was
consumed especially. The fifth had a “knuckle” in the
middle and two in front. The small first tooth was cor-
roded inside by the two adjoining. The seventh had a sin-
gle, sharp, thick root. The male child of Athenades: lower
left tooth, upper right. He had festering in the right ear
after the pain had gone.

EPIDEMICS 4

20. After the Pleiad, pleasant weather with clouds and
mist. Crises on fifth, sixth, seventh, and even later days.
Fever tended to relapses, to produce delirium, loss of
appetite, biliousness, and there were dysenteries with loss
of appetite, high fever. About the setting of the Pleiades,
much southerly weather. Hemorrhages, tertian-like fev-
ers, nightmare fevers (epialoi). The man at the shoe shop
had hemorrhage, a few bilious feces. Crisis on the seventh
day with shivering. The boy (slave?) in the last shop
hemorrhaged much on the fourth day. Straightway talked
nonsense. Bowels stopped up. Painful, hard hypochon-
drium. After a suppository on the sixth day he passed
greenish, bad material. On the seventh, early, tossing
about, loud crying out, throbbing of blood vessels by the
navel.

20b. In the most severe fevers the pulse is strongest
and most frequent. When exacerbations are towards
afternoon, the same occur through the whole disease.
One must examine the exacerbations at the beginning, and
what occurs earlier, the character of the continuous fevers
and that of the year.

20c. After the setting of the Pleiades, southerly
weather. Crises on the fifth day, remissions one day,
accessions one. Scaliness and blisters, as with the mason
Acanthius.

20d. Around the setting of the Pleiades, there
appeared slightly itchy, hard areas, without weeping to a
greater extent in that season. Also the tumified pustules as
with Pythodorus’ wife and the shopkeeper, virtually at the
commencement of fever. Pythodorus’ wife had weakness
in the hips.

20e. After the setting of the Pleiades, fevers with
shivering, hemorrhages from the nose. The shoemaker,
who bled vigorously, had a crisis on the seventh; it remit-
ted one day and again came for one; crisis on the fourth
day. Another, one of Leocydes’ people, had a crisis on the
seventh day, another on the fourth. Moschus bled
vigorously on the ninth from the left nostril, and briefly
from the right: towards the fourteenth he reached the
appropriate crisis. It started again, grew worse. There
were errors in diet at the seventeenth day. By the ear on
the right, a small hardness inside, a small spongy area out-
side, painful; it did not increase; on the nineteenth day, it
disappeared in the night.

20f. Very bilious people, especially when there are
abscesses, have purgings like ink of cuttlefish;* for exam-
ple, the one who had the cupping glass applied, when he
had pain at the hip; it went below to the leg, and he was
eased. The one who fell from the kiln in the ceramic fac-
tory: he did not have the cupping glass immediately; it

“Like ink of cuttlefish” should perhaps be amended to read
“towards the legs,” the reading of ms. V and of Epid. 2.3.1, a paral-
lel passage.

hemorrhages, thick expectoration which was corrosive.

20g. The woman from Tenedos aborted on the fourth
day, so she said, a thirty-day-old male fetus. Intestines
watery, thin. Tongue parched. Crisis, fourth day.

20h. After the setting of the Pleiades one had splenic
problems, hemorrhage until the fifth day. Crisis on the
seventh day, urine like wash-water of vetch seeds, uniform
throughout, later pure. Relapse. It remitted also for the
son of Megareus, but he had no hemorrhage. Urine, like
that of Antigenes, white, thick, uniform.

21. During the winter solstice, a large star. On the
fifth and sixth following, earthquake. When we were in
Perinthus the asthmatic woman, Antigenes’ wife, who did
not know whether she was pregnant. She had red patches
on her skin sometimes. Sometimes her belly was small,
sometimes large, I think. She had come down with a
cough after a hurried journey. It was the eighth month. It
had become established after a spell of fever.

EPIDEMICS 4

22. The wife of Apemantus’ brother on the seventh day
aborted a female fetus of sixty days, she said. Around the
ninth she was upset. After the crisis she had pain in the
right side as though it had turned back up. She conceived
again immediately, and aborted another girl with white
fluxes. She gave birth to a girl with red fluxes, as is proper.

23. Patients were shivering, nauseous, without
appetite, relapsing, bilious, hemorrhagic, splenic, mostly
of a painful sort on the left. In Apemantus’ wife it turned
about: she had a painful eye on the right and painful flank
on the left. Aristophon’s daughter was feverish on the
third and fifth day. She was dry throughout for the most
part, but her belly was upset. It stopped around the thir-
tieth day without a clear crisis. Blisters came up from
work that was not severe; on the seventh day they were
somewhat livid. The young woman behind the Heroon
had shivering, and large white ones (blisters?), but they
were not very productive. In catalepsy and drowsiness, if
there is no collapse, even if the bile (i.e. bilious feces?) be
withheld, whether it be wet or dry they do not suffer
collapse.*

24. The daughter who lived with the wife of Comes,
the market supervisor, conceived with no definite signs; at
two months there broke out phlegmatic vomit, sometimes
bilious. She had a difficult delivery. Complete purgation.
Similar vomiting to the thirtieth day. Then her belly was
upset and the vomiting ceased. Lientery. For two years
her menses did not occur. She had hemorrhoids in the
winter.

25. The two brothers who lived with Cecrops had black
stools to begin with, like wine lees, like blood sauce: then
after they had very bilious, foamy bowel movements, they
were chlorotic. The one who lifted the wine* from the
depository became feverish immediately. He hemor-
rhaged on the third and again on the fourth, fifth, and
seventh and eighth days. Crisis. Moist intestines. The
one from the mines: right hypochondrium stretched,
spleen large, belly tight, rather hard; flatulent. He was
pale. His went to the left knee. Relapse. General crisis.
Timenes’ son had breathing symptoms and became
chlorotic. Paleness sometimes extended to his arms. The
husband of the recently delivered woman, the one who
lived by the granary, the one with jaundice: I came to him

on the seventh day, he died on the eighth. No urine, no
feces. Hypochondria large and hard. Rapid breathing. As
he died he did not have a damp brow, not even from the
agony. His wife aborted a female child in her seventh
month on the seventh day. There were indications, on the
fourth day. A pain of the feet possessed her at the begin-
ning, and when the fever left her she did not lose the
breathing symptoms, but they became fixed. The pain
went to the hands and arm. The relapse was very lengthy.
Shivering. Urine withheld before the crisis. The sister of
Timenes (who lived with him) had a crisis with shivering.
When the paleness stopped she quickly developed trouble
in the hands and shoulders; when they improved, around
the head and eyes. Her upper lids swelled. Many tears. I
do not know anything more. Crisis on the seventh day the
first time. Menander’s vinedresser went in the same
fashion, except that at first his belly produced thin matter,
then stopped; also the urine. Crisis. He did not shiver on
the seventh day. Was it because his belly was upset
earlier?

Potamon’s son: he did not have loose bowels on the
seventh, and for two days before the crisis did not have

shivering. Because of that his urine was not withheld.
Hegesistratius’ tooth: he had a suppuration by his eye and
also by his back tooth. The eye later healed and he exuded
thick pus through the nostrils. At the gum, small, round,
fleshy, globs came away. He seemed to be going to sup-
purate by the third tooth, then it turned back. Suddenly
his jaw swelled, and his eyes.

When in burning fevers there are apostases to the eyes,
patients get red at the jaws and have hemorrhages. Some
have them by the ears. And maybe, also, more frequent
apostases to the joints; I do not really know. Shivering is
associated with trembling.

One woman: stretching of the hypochondria. Menses
appeared on the seventeenth day, complete crisis. In
cases where the menses were not held back one had a
crisis on the third, another on the fifth, another on the
seventh.

In Hegesistratius, his two back teeth were eaten away
in the area where they met. The back one had two “knuck-
les” above the gum, one next to where it was eaten away,
the other opposite. Where these two were, there was a sin-
gle plinth-like root formed from two, and on the other side
a single half round root.

EPIDEMICS 4

For the woman who had the hemorrhage on the fourth
and sixth, the crisis came on the seventh; she was ruddy.
The woman who was so heavy-headed had her crisis on the
twentieth. On the twentieth burning heat in the hypo-
chondria. No hemorrhage on the seventh. Thin feces. It
went to her right eye on the eighth day. A man had the
same except for the crisis on the seventh day. His spleen
swelled on the left, eightieth day, and his eye problem
lasted longer, perhaps because it came after the crisis, and
perhaps because it came with much suppuration.

26. Timenes’ niece had difficulty breathing. Hypo-
chondria appeared tight for a long period. Was she carry-
ing an infant? I do not know. Bowels stopped at first,
when she tended to vomit, then free. They passed much
slimy bilious matter. Hypochondrium did not inhibit it.
On the eleventh day inflammation went into the large toe
of the right foot. Diarrhea, even when there was evacua-
tion upward. After this occurred, she improved: she had
less delirium and fever, breathed slightly better, because
she vomited up vile matter. On the sixteenth day it
deflated; breathing rapid, and fever. Death. She was fev-
erish before the apostasis.? She died on the seventh day
after the apostasis. She, too, was a rather ruddy type.

27. The slave (possibly “child”) who belonged to the

woman who was Apemantus’ sister: enlarged hypochon-

4 Apostasis: the settling of the disease in the toe “which was not
able to contain it,” as Epid. 2.1.7 explains in apparent relation to
this passage.

dria and spleen, breathing problems. Slimy bilious feces
mixed with normal. Easily tired from labor. On the twen-
tieth day it went to the feet and there was a crisis. In
fatigued people does it go to the joints and not the eye?
However, the hypochondria were stretched, especially if
his dry cough asserted itself.

28. Things left behind after the crisis indicate relapse.
Also things separated in the disease itself: sputum that
ripens too early, stomach problems. These things are
signs of failure of crisis also.

29. Apemantus, who had problems in his seat: pains in
the right flank and beside the navel slightly below. Before
the pain began, from the right side he made bloody urine.
That stopped on the third day. The carpenter, on the
other side: he, too, produced bloody urine from the
corresponding side. When it stopped, both had deposits,
and that on the third day. Apemantus was very warm; the
other man did not feel it save perhaps on the left. Nicos-
tratus had it on the right at the last, lower down than the
spot where he had it on the left, and protrusions on both
sides in front of the flank up to the navel.

30. The old woman in Lower Sosilis had white phlegm.
Her lower limbs had hard, white, scabby swellings. Also
her feet, but less so. Also below the thighs. In most this is
hard to get rid of. Also the lower back. Thin at stomach,
soft hypochondria, little difficulty breathing. When most
of the symptoms disappeared she had another problem,
glaucoma. Then her eye problems improved for a short
time, but pains that appeared to be hysterical appeared in
her hip and leg. When she was given a fragrant applica-
tion of ground meal and myrrh she suddenly became
voiceless and died. The time for the apostasis in the eyes:
about a year. There was freckling where the eruptions
were not dissolved completely. Such things come also
from chronic scaly ulcers.

31. In the village of Hippolochus, a child: at his hypo-
chondria the surrounding area on both sides was in the
same condition, hard and shining underneath, reminiscent
of the wife of the bronzesmith, the hydropic one, for
whom white matter coming forth emptied out a part. She
had the same thing on the front of the right side, similar
and protruding, of the sort that have a border below. The

vomited most (of what he ate). Fever, lack of appetite. He
got better. About the seventh day after taking to bed (he
had been ill before that) drinking a lot of water, and
perhaps from other causes, he was somewhat irrational,
tossed about and had some spasms. When the spasms
ceased, his fever had disappeared without his noticing.*
Before that, much urine, much gas passed loudly; the
upper parts were not emptied at all. But as soon as there
was evacuation, they emptied out powerfully, and on the
rest of him he grew red as though he had been whipped
over all the body, save in the area where the swelling was
greatest, and became exceedingly warm. The male in
Abdera who broke forth below had a swelling above ini-
tially, but it passed through without fever.> But the swel-
ling, touched, was like an abscess.

32. The asthmatic servant, when she was using the stri-
gil, hemorrhaged at the time of her menses. She
developed asthma, menses stopped. Fever developed.
Left breast festered above; also the ear from the begin-
ning.

4 Many interpreters take ἀποσβείς to describe the patient's
death rather than the quenching of fever. That would alter the
interpretation of other elements in the case history. I take the pas-
sage to describe, from the author's point of view, a crisis in which
the source of swelling in the hypochondria was finally evacuated by
being dispersed to the skin.

bThe text here is corrupt and unintelligible and I have
restored it conjecturally. This section seems to express a parallel
with that of the boy in Hippolochus village.

EPIDEMICS 4

33. Olympiodorus’ young daughter, blood from the
right nostril, crisis on the twentieth day as in those who are
fevered, feces as are general in summer. Symptoms like
Hipponax’ wife and the servant of Aristeus on the eighth
day.

34. In purging downward with cathartics, these are the
signs: those that they bear easily; those that do not unrea-
sonably prostrate them, and if what is purged is not frothy
or bloody, but like eggs: like those of Heraclides who was
purged many times but bore it easily.

35. The woman in the village of Boulagoreus, who was
wasting generally, began to have fever with an enlarged
spleen; her right side, a little below, was not swollen, but a
little tight. These patients became quite red. She was
rather red and had intestinal upset at the beginning. I
expected a determination to the eye for her. On the
seventh day a salty biting tear came forth from her eyes,
and came down the nose and throat and by the left ear.
On the fifteenth day she sweated with shivering. There
was no crisis before the shivering. She was very pale, and
there was tightness and collapsing of her face. The ear on
the same side as the spleen, and the problems in the
thorax, was painful.

36. The children: upset stomachs, dry coughs. Some-
times suppuration towards the shoulder in the last stages
of the coughing. In the wool carder’s case, neck and head.
On the seventh day, his hand was numb, on the ninth, his
leg. The numbness and the coughing ceased. The woman
with the twisted jaw: in her fifth month of pregnancy it had
been drawn to the left.

37. In Crannon, Licynus the school teacher after a bili-
ous fever on top of spleen trouble had heaviness of head.
Bleeding dry roughness on both lips on the side of the
spleen, small round sores inside. Then some blood from
the nostril on the corresponding side, a small amount,
flowed out.

38. The newly purchased servant girl whom I saw, who
had a large hardening on the right (abdomen), not painful,
and a large taut belly; not like one with edema, she was
slack elsewhere; not affected with difficult breathing, but
with bad color. She had not menstruated for seven years.
She got dysentery, but without tenesmus. Under these
circumstances the swelling on her right became painful.
There were light fevers, not beyond seven days, and intes-
tinal upset producing amber-like feces, slimy, of consider-
able quantity for some days. She became healthy. After-
wards her menses occurred, the area of the belly, too,
became loose, skin color good, substantial flesh with it.

39. Minos’ wife, where the pressing was after an inci-
sion (perhaps “a wound”), got gangrene. It went to the
lung. She gave brief signs, in the time she survived, of
further internal troubles.

40. Things inserted into the nose of fever patients:
there is a thick flow from the nostril when the pain is
relieved. If the pain and fever are not relieved, it flows
thin and perhaps fiery, like the thin flow from Hegesippus
for whom it was inserted towards night, and the thick one
for the eunuch-like son of Scelebreus in Corinth. Pepper
was the substance.

41. Apostases in diseases are a sign whether there will
be a crisis, if they do not develop fever in response to fev-
erish conditions, and if they bear difficult conditions com-
fortably, as in the case of the affection in Charon’s seat.
And in Leambius’ case, after a purge he appeared to have
an ulcerated intestine in dysentery. He ulcerated on the
left side in the shoulder and seat, but without fever. The
man who was inflated with flatulence had swelling and
pain in the flank. When he had drunk more milk than
usual and less diluted, and had slept, suddenly nausea and
hotness developed. Then, when he had roasted and eaten
a loaf of coarse barley bread instead of his usual food, his
belly became quiet and brought through purulent matter.
He was practically without fever and pain, because his seat
was inflamed, as I interpret it.

42. The old man at the stone gateway had pains in the
loins and both legs. It descended on both sides to his
thighs and sometimes to his lower legs, sometimes his
knees. Especially as time passed there were many
recurrences.* He developed swelling on his feet, at his
loins, in the lower leg. For a short time the glands swelled
and his lower abdomen was stretched. His whole belly
was hard and for the most part painful. He proved to have
a hard, painful bladder. There were eruptions and areas of
heat.

43. Crises, and the other things that give us
knowledge, (are known) by the eyes, ears, nose, hand.
(The one who knows them is) the ill person, seeing, touch-
ing, smelling, or tasting, and knowing in the other ways.
(Our sources of knowledge are) hair, complexion, skin,
veins, tendons, muscles, flesh, bones, marrow, brain, the
things from blood, the intestines, belly, bile, the other
humors, joints.

42b. Afterward he had a pain by the ear. In the same
area, gathering, the gland not in contact with it, the bone
not purulent; this, too, grew soft and he straightway grew
feverish at that time.

4 Literally “runnings back.” The notion is that the phenomena
of the disease move from place to place.

b Because ch. 42b, the last part of the case history, comes in
the middle of the epistemological aphorisms, Littré transposed it
to follow ch. 42. He also adjusted the text of chapter 43 to
enhance its parallelism with the (epistemological) opening of In
the Surgery (Loeb, vol. 3, p.58). I am not satisfied that he was
right, and I have restored the manuscript order.

44. In people with purulence in the eyes, even cracks
become large wounds, cut areas grow deep. The iris is
wounded on both sides.

45. The man from Amphilochus’ village, Aristees, was
delirious on the fourth day. Pale, greenish bowel move-
ments, sleep healthy; his complexion was white. At the
commencement their fingers trembled somewhat, and
their lips when they talked, although otherwise they were
rather quick and ready speakers. There was redness of
countenance especially in these. After successfully vomit-
ing from drinking heavily of wine, or from a vomitive, they
swelled up. The man from Lower Mosades: his feces were
thin, not bilious, watery and profuse; his hypochondrium
yielded to pressure and was rounded; he became coma-
tose towards the fourteenth day. As he was approaching
near the crisis, chill without shivering, loss of faculties, loss
of strength, collapse, symptoms of the excrement. Coma-
tose, delirious after sleep, not mad. Crisis around the
fourteenth day, with none of the critical signs bad. Simi-
larly the other man; sticky slimy feces at first, the sort
which when solid are a critical sign; restlessness. Later

“This confusing section has some thematic threads running
through its notes about various cases: complexion in relation to
type of disease, delirium and consistency of excrement as predic-
tors of crises, symptoms of the hypochondria in relation to
delirium.

somewhat slimy, somewhat bilious, concocted, bilious, not
thin movements. When they start to be composed the
crisis is coming quickly. Hypochondrium seemed
stretched like painful swelling of veins around the sixth
day. Then he slept on the seventh. Crisis toward the
ninth. Both were of white complexion, not red. Watery
movements: if one put them in the open air they
developed a thin dark layer on top, like the bluish color of
woad, and underneath a sediment. People who have
flaccid stretching on the right became phrenitic unless it is
reduced when the fever subsides. For those who because
of slackness of the intestinal area have in that spot a sense
of seizure around it or hardness,* it becomes painful and
very ill-natured, and will not dissipate. Perhaps from such
occurrences they develop a suppuration. Swellings on the
right side, as many as are mostly soft, and particularly if
they produce rumbling when one presses them, are not
ill-natured, like the one in the case of the man from
Amphilochus’ village and the man from Lower Mosades.
They were comatose and were delirious in sleep.

expect) the acmes of diseases, towards the crisis and daily.

* Perhaps: “those who have a hollowness in the lower abdo-

men, and a lump or hardness.” Liddell and Scott says “loose
bowels” for λαπαρότης, a word which occurs only here.

EPIDEMICS 4

What happens earlier and what later, in the third, fourth
period. Of periods, in which ones the critical things occur,
such as vomiting or not vomiting; apostases, which ones
are associated with relapses. Blood vessels in the temples;
collapses, change of skin color, those that precede crises
and those in cases that do not have crises. Tossing about,
stretching, change of color from red to pale if there is no
crisis. Whether there are stretchings of skin without crisis.
Collapse of the eye. Dry hardness of the body. Inten-
tional crying is not bad; an involuntary flow is bad. For
those with stickiness around the teeth, gaping of the
mouth is bad.#

47. The man who had a wound in the calf and who
used Atticum:> eruptions rose on him, large and red: this
instead of a cough later. For he did not have a cough,
while previously he had.

48. In Aenus, all who had shivering, who had head
wounds, who were malignant and festering after
tenesmus, who had pains in the feet when they traveled,
all also experienced prostration with intestinal upsets.
One was Linia: no appetite, wasting away, purulent (excre-
ment), sometimes a little bloody. Her feet swelled up.

ἃ This list of things to be taken into account seems to represent
peculiar interests of the author of Epid. 4, with the exception of
the borrowed aphorism about voluntary and involuntary tears.

> Atticum is unparalleled. Littré suggests κνήκῳ (safflower),
Langholf vitpw or Aitpw (sodium carbonate). I would as soon
think that the text is correct, and that the word means honey from
Athens.

49. Histiaeus’ daughter, already edemic for three
years, in early spring her cough increased. She became
purulent towards winter. She became very edemic. With
purgative drugs, some relief. She died, quite young.*

50. Of people with coughs, those who work with their
hands, like the slave who tied up the grape vines and the
son of Amynteus, they were both paralyzed in the right
hand only. It went away and then they developed that
affection along with the coughing. People who rode
horses or walked got it in the lower back or hams. Most
were dry coughs, otherwise they were quite violent.

51. The slave at Myris’ house did not seem ill. She was
stuprous without fever, then she began to tremble all over
the body, wasted away, lost appetite, had thirst and chills.

52. People with night blindness who urinated a great
deal, later very little: it went to the ears, they coughed,
they became feverish. It broke through on the seventh or
eighth day. The young female slave at Myris’ house was
feverish, pus ran from her ear about the eighth day, I
believe. Some had a tooth eroded, especially the third

* The identity of this patient is uncertain. One could translate
“the woman who belonged to Histiaeus,” and “She died. A maid
servant.” The word παιδίσκη is ambiguous: from meaning “little
girl” it came to be applied to slaves and prostitutes.

upper: this is most often found eroded. Pain centers
there. Some have festering around it. People whose ears
were strongly affected coughed more than those (with
tooth problems). Those who had festering with fevers got
relief in the seventh day.* It again grew worse, the hypo-
chondrium remained blocked. When the (belly) softened
there were small sticky concretions, not of the best. Urine
blood colored. (S)he spat up foamy material.

53. The man to whom Cyniscus took me: he grew
worse on the seventh day; crisis on about the fourteenth,
with gradual disappearance of the symptoms. After having
been purged, and having expectorated through the throat
a little salty, concocted matter, he had a small hemorrhage
from the nose. His head was heavy, his arms and legs
weak. Loosening of the bowels helped. Feet warm con-
tinuously. There was sleep. No swelling developed beside
his ear, I believe, because he expectorated ripe matter.

54. Demaratus’ wife: her feet were warm even during
shivering. She was going to die whether or not it
developed to suppuration.

Ὁ An apparent lacuna here, perhaps with the patient’s name.

55. Like the disease of the old man who died: he was ill
at the same time as his wife who reached a crisis. She had
some mania, but she passed a rather thick worm, and a
small amount of feces. Immediately her trouble stopped,
she slept and became healthy. The old man, with similar
affection, had in addition stretching of the skin on the
body, extremities cold, slackness; at the outset he trem-
bled in lips, hands, voice. He was delirious inoffensively,
he gaped without much breathing abnormality. He died
approaching twenty days; I am uncertain when.

56. People w those hypochondria and belly, under pres-
sure, pass material in a gush with rumbling, pass matter
such as a worm, or such as the lizard-like things passed by
the man in Abdera.

What precedes the critical days: both the good and bad
signs occur the day before. In accord with the days on
which patients grow worse, their disease becomes of long
duration, with those on which it is slackening, the disease
becomes short. There are also improvements which are
untrustworthy, and spontaneous exacerbations. Expec-
toration in peripneumonics, if it is bilious before a remis-
sion, becomes very yellow for a brief time. The disease of
people in whom that appears at the beginning does not
ripen thoroughly, I think, but it does reach a crisis like that
of the man at the teacher’s house, and such as I have seen
at other times.

57. Nicippus had a wet dream in fever, and it made
him no worse. The same thing repeatedly occurred and
did not harm him. It was predicted that it would end when
the fever reached crisis, and so it did. In the same way ina
fever, Critias was upset by dreams that cause erections;
he, too, stopped at the crisis.

58. Alcippus had hemorrhoids, was prevented from
being treated. When he was treated he went mad. An
acute fever came on and he was cured.*

59. In acute fevers, people who are thirsty and are
urged to drink by the physician, or even by themselves,
think that they could drink a great deal. Cold water given
to produce vomiting is beneficial because there will be
bilious matter present.

60. That tendons draw towards themselves the follow-
ing is indication: if the tendons on top of the hand be
wounded the hand nods down, drawn by the tendons
below. And vice versa. -

61. People with testicle problems have a dry cough,
and from coughs affections go to the testicle. Treated with
phlebotomy they are relieved. People troubled with
inflammation have coughs. Those with bubonic fevers
cough in addition.

“It is a standard ancient assumption that hemorrhoids are part
of Nature’s cure; cf. Epid. 6.3.23, Aphorisms 6.11-12. Apparently
Alcippus tried to cure his hemorrhoids contrary to medical advice.

1. In Elis, a continuous fever held the wife of the gar-
dener; when she drank (purgative) drugs she was not
benefited. On her belly below the navel was a hardness,
higher than on the other side, and it caused strong pains.
She manipulated it with her hands, with olive oil, after
which much blood was passed below and she became
healthy and survived.

2. In Elis, Timocrates drank too much and went insane
from black bile. He took the drug* and was purged. Much
was purged from him: he produced phlegm and black bile
throughout the day. Towards afternoon he stopped the
purging. He had much pain in the purging. He drank bar-
ley broth; sleep took him and held him all night until the
sun was high. In sleep he did not seem to those who were
present to be breathing, but to have died. He perceived
nothing, speech or action, and his body was stretched out
and rigid. But he survived and waked up.

4 Probably hellebore, a “violent gastrointestinal poison, having
hydragogue, cathartic and emmenagogue properties” (Dorland’s
Illustrated Medical Dictionary), used by the ancients as the
cathartic of choice in mental affections especially.

3. Scomphus, in Oeniadae, possessed by pleurisy, died
on the seventh day, delirious. He drank a drug that purges
downward that day, having been mentally all right the pre-
vious day. Not much was purged, but in the purgation he
became delirious.

4. In Oeniadae, the brothers Phoenix and Andreus: in
each, one jaw swelled up, and the lip in front of that jaw,
and the area around that eye. Nothing was visible to one
looking inside, nor was there a discharge of pus outside.
The area swelled up and grew rotten with a dry putrefac-
tion, and he died. And the other also with the same affec-
tion. The one died on the seventh day. He drank a (pur-
gative) drug and was not helped. But in Phoenix’s case, a
round putrid area was cut out and the wound was purged
for the most part before he died. But still he too died,
after surviving a longer time.

5. Eurydamas, in Oeniadae, in the tenth day of perip-
neumonia, began to be delirious. He was treated and
regained sanity, the sputa became purer and the disease
turned for the better. Sleep poured over him and he
became jaundiced in the eyes; he died towards the twen-
tieth day.

6. In Oeniadae, a man was held by a disease. When he
went without food there was strong grumbling in his
stomach, and pain. Whenever he had eaten and the food
was used up and time had passed after the eating of the
food, he soon suffered the same thing. He wasted in body
and grew thin, he got no nourishment from his food when
he ate, and the food passed out useless and burned. But
when he had just eaten, there was little grumbling pre-
cisely at that time, and the pain was least severe. He drank
various drugs to purge upward and downward, and was not
benefited. But when he was bled in each arm in turn until
he was bloodless, then he was benefited and freed from
the trouble.

7. Eupolemus in Oeniadae had severe pains in the
right hip and groin and at the connection between hip and
groin and in the front of the hip. Very much blood was
extracted from his ankle, black and thick. And he drank a
purgative drug. He was purged of much material and
became easier. But the pains did not leave him: pus pos-
sessed the hip, and the perineum, and the groin area, all of
which were even more painful. The pus was nearer the
depth of the bone than of the flesh, and it was not obvious
for a time that he was in that condition until he grew weak.
Then he was cauterized. The scars were numerous, large,

and close together. Much thick pus ran out. He died a
few days after that, from the size and number of the
wounds and from weakness of his body. It would appear
that, if there had been a single incision adequate for
drainage and the pus had been drawn toward the incision
and, if another incision had been needed, one adequate
for drainage had been cut: if this had been done to him at
the right time, it seems that he would have become
healthy.

8. Lycon, in Oeniadae, in other respects had the same
affections, but the pains also went into the leg, not far, and
he was not purulent. He was healthy for a long time. And
he drank (purgative) drugs, and applied the cupping glass,
and was bled, and it seemed to get easier when he was so
treated.

9. In Athens, a man was taken by itching over his
whole body, but especially on his testicles and forehead. It
was very severe, and his skin was thick over the whole
body, and like lepra (white scale) to the view, and one
could not pull out any part of the skin because of its thick-
ness. No one could help him. But he went to Melos
where the warm baths are, and was cured of the itching
and thick skin. But he became dropsical and died.

10. At Athens, cholera seized a man. He vomited and
had diarrhea and pain. Vomiting and diarrhea could not
be stopped, and his voice failed, and he could not move
from his bed, his eyes were misty and hollowed, he had

spasms from the intestine like hiccups. The bowel move-
ments were greater than the vomit. He drank hellebore in
lentil broth and drank lentil broth in addition, all he could.
Then he vomited and was forced (to eat again). Both
(vomiting and diarrhea) stopped, but he grew cold. He
bathed the lower parts up to the genitals in much water,
until the upper parts too were warm. And he survived.
The following day he drank thin barley in water.

11. In Larissa the menses of Gorgias’ wife had stopped
for four years, save for a very small amount. In her uterus,
on whichever side she lay, she had a throbbing and heavi-
ness. She became pregnant and pregnant again (superfe-
tation). The child was delivered in the ninth month; a live
girl, with an ulcer on her hip. And the rest came out fol-
lowing, and a very copious flow of blood came on the next
and on the third and fourth days, and firm clots. Fever
held her for the first ten days. For the remaining time she
passed bright red blood. She swelled up greatly in the face
and calves and feet and one thigh. She had no interest in
food, but was very thirsty. She could take very cold water,
but no wine. Her belly after the first baby was a little emp-
tied but did not entirely collapse, but was rather hard. But

there was no pain. On the fortieth day after the first the
second fetus aborted, simply flesh. And her belly col-
lapsed, and all the swellings. The flow was white and the
blood the odorous sort, and she became healthy.

12. In Pherae, a woman had pain in the head for a long
time, and no one could help her, not even when she was
purged in the head. But she was very much eased when-
ever her menses flowed freely. Whenever the pains in her
head came, pleasant-smelling applications to the uterus
helped, and there was some purging. When she became
pregnant the pains left her head.

13. A woman in Larissa, who was pregnant, lost much
blood for fourteen days in the tenth month, but mostly in
the three before the delivery of the child. On the four-
teenth day the child was born dead, with the right arm
attached to its side. On the third day the afterbirth, at the
same time of night as the child, was born. The white flows
came after that for three days and nights, moderately in
general. After that fever seized her two days and nights
and her whole belly and hips were in pain, the lower abdo-
men most of all.

14. In Larissa Hipposthenes seemed to the physicians
to have peripleumonia. But that was not it. At the begin-
ning, when he was wrestling, he fell on his back on a hard
place and his opponent fell on him. He washed in cold
water, ate dinner, and seemed to become rather heavy.
On the following day he had fever, with a dry cough and
rapid breathing. On the fifth day he spat up bloody
matter, not much of it, and began to be delirious; when he
coughed he had pain in the chest and back. On the sixth
day the blood ran from his nose after he sneezed, about
four cotyls,* toward evening. He did not speak and could
not perceive speech or action. On the eleventh day he
died. But for five days he was sometimes conscious, some-
times not. He became free of fever. No sputum flowed
out, nor did he have wheezing, since there was no sputum.

15. Scamandrus in Larissa had mortification in the hip;
in time the bone came free. A large incision up to the
bone was cut, and then cauterized. Then on the twelfth
day after the incision, spasm began, and it increased. That
leg was drawn up right to the ribs. And the contraction
migrated to the other side. The leg was bent double and
very tense and his other limbs trembled and his jaws were
fixed. He died drawn up on the eighth day after the spasm
came on. He was treated with fomentations made from
leather bottles, and with heated vetch seeds over the

and repeated it. He did pass excrement. There was no

bone, which before was readily festering. On the twen-
tieth day a swelling began by the ear, and fever and shiver-
ing. And in the daytime the swelling and pain were
greater. He became fevered, beginning with shivering.
His eyes swelled, and his face. He was affected more on
the right than the left of the head, but the swelling spread
also to the left. That did no harm. Finally the fever was
less continuous. These things continued until the eighth
day. He survived, after being cauterized, purging it with
medicine for drinking, and treated with plasters on the
swelling. The wound was not responsible for his prob-
lems.

4 The text is uncertain here and I am translating my conjectural
restoration. The author appears to be defending his treatment and
arguing that the boy’s later problems did not stem from the trephi-
nation.

17. In Larissa, the son of Theophorbus had leprosy in
the bladder. He urinated sticky material and had pain at
the beginning and end of urination, and rubbed his penis.
When he drank the acrid diuretic none of it went to the
bladder, but he vomited a large quantity of pus and bile,
and passed more by the bowels; he had stomach pains and
internal fever though the rest of his body was cold. He
was entirely prostrate, and was not willing to take any-
thing; his intestines were ulcerated by the excessive
strength of the drug. He died three days after the
draught.

18. The wife of Antimachus in Larissa was about fifty
days pregnant. She had no appetite for the rest of the
time, and the last seven days she also had heartburn, and
fever seized her. There were no bowel movements during
that time. She was given a purgative to drink, stronger
than needed, and she vomited bile which was burned by
the fasting and by the fever (for indeed she had taken no
drink). But it was a small amount, and she vomited
violently material full of clots. Then she was nauseous,
and laid herself down; she seemed weak, and was not wil-
ling to drink water and vomit it. Afterward strong pain
seized her lower intestine, for it was ulcerated by the drug,
and immediately after the feces she passed bloody scrap-
ings. The weakness and nausea kept increasing. There

were five cotyls* of purged material. Her bowel became
stable when much water was poured over her stomach, but
she was unable to take anything else. She died in the mid-
dle of the night. It looked as though she would have sur-
vived if she could have drunk water and vomited immedi-
ately, before it went below.

19. The servant of Aenesidemus in Larissa was
ulcerated in the stomach and lower intestine by bile which
was aroused spontaneously, and she passed bile and blood
above and below, and was feverish. She was given a weak
purgative, since she was weak, a small amount well
diluted, and she vomited much as a result of it, and passed
much material by the bowel. And it came on again in the
evening. The next day there was fever and she was weak.
The bowel was ulcerated and she was still passing the
same things. On the third day she died in the afternoon,
seized by a very strong fever. It appeared that she would
have died in any case, but would have had the best chance
if she had drunk cold water until she vomited. And when
the upper intestine had been chilled, purged by the water,
if she had drunk cold liquid she would have been flushed
out in that way.

20. Eudemus in Larissa had severe hemorrhoids, and
as time passed was anemic. Bile was aroused but he was
quiet in the body. His lower intestine was upset. He
passed bilious material. The hemorrhoids projected. He
drank a medicine for purging below and was well purged.
Again he drank a barley gruel and was again upset. Pains
lodged in the hypochondria. In his case one was treating

the hemorrhoids while he was not well in the intestines,
but needed therapy and vomiting. Later, after the sore
had been anointed, fever came on him and did not leave
him before it had killed him. When the shivering left him,
the fever would come on and seize him, and he would pass
bile and gas: some was passed, but some remained, and he
had pain in the belly. The hemorrhoids were outside the
anus the whole time, beginning from the purgations; and
the gas developed because of them. The beginning fol-
lowed on a sneeze.

21. In Larissa a man was wounded from behind by a
hand-thrown broad spear. The tip passed through below
the navel. Livid, swollen over a large area. When he was
wounded there was much pain at first, and the belly
swelled up. The next day he was given a laxative and
passed some bloody matter, and he died. It appeared that
his entrails were not healthy and that his lower belly had
filled with blood.

22. Apellaeus of Larissa was about thirty or slightly
less. He was taken by the illness.* He was taken more at
night than in the daytime. He was ill about two years
before his death. Sometimes he vomited reddish bile.
Sometimes he was wakeful. He also vomited black bile.
After a powerful purgation of the head, when he was
purged strongly and for a long time and drank the drug
twice, it stayed away for six months. He was a copious

eater, and, having a bilious body, when he had wrestled a
great deal he had severe chills, fever seized him, and the
illness seized him towards night. On the next day he felt
healthy, and the next. The following night, after he had
dined, the sickness seized him after his initial sleep, and
continued that night and the next day until supper time.
He died before coming to himself. He was drawn up on
the right side at first, in the face and the rest of the body,
later on the left. And whenever he seemed to get better,
coma came on him, he would wheeze, and again the sick-
ness possessed him.

23. Eumelus of Larissa grew rigid in his legs, arms, and
jaws. He could not extend them or bend them unless
someone else extended or bent them, nor open his jaws
unless someone else opened them. But no other symp-
toms. He had no pain and he did not eat, except barley
cakes, and he drank honey water. On the twentieth day he
fell backwards while sitting and severely struck his head
on a stone, and darkness poured over him. Shortly later he
stood up and was better. All was relaxed except that when
he wakened after sleep his joints were slightly bound. He
was then twelve or thirteen years old. He was troubled for
three or four months.

24. In Larissa, a maiden vomited a small amount of
blood when she had become purulent. Fevers seized her,
and did not leave her before she finally died in the third
month. Before death she grew deaf and could not hear
except when one was shouting very loudly. She had been
weak before the vomiting of blood.

25. In Larissa, the servant of Dyseris, when she was
young, whenever she had sexual intercourse suffered
much pain, but otherwise was without distress. And she
never conceived. When she was sixty she had pain from
midday, like strong labor. Before midday she had eaten
many leeks. When pain seized her, the strongest ever, she
stood up and felt something rough at the mouth of her
womb. Then, when she had already fainted, another
woman, inserting her hand, pressed out a stone like a spin-
dle top, rough. She was immediately and thenceforth
healthy.

26. The man from Malia: a loaded cart ran over him in
the rib area, and broke some of his ribs, and in time pus
gathered below the ribs. Cauterized below the spleen and
treated with a tampon, he continued for ten months.*
When the skin was cut, an opening into the peritoneum
appeared which led in both directions: a rotten channel
ran to the kidney and to the bones. The state of his body
was bilious, though one did not notice it. In his body gen-
erally and at the site of the disease there was much putri-
dity of the peritoneum and of other flesh, which one
needed to remove immediately, if one could, with a
dry(ing) drug so long as the man had any strength, since he
did not improve from the damp (drugs), but grew puru-
lent. Because the moisture was held by the tampons,
shivering and fever seized him and he suppurated more.

4 A lint plug will have been inserted into the wound made by
the cautery to keep the wound open and maintain drainage. Even
so, a fistula developed.

There flowed forth a black, foul-smelling corruption, and
before one took the treatment in hand it flowed out in
quantity every day, but it did not flow freely. It was recog-
nized that the nature of the disease was farther off than
below the skin. Had he been properly cared for in all
respects, it still does not seem that he would have sur-
vived. Diarrhea also seized him.

27. Autonomus in Omilus died on the sixteenth day
from a head wound in midsummer. The stone, thrown by
hand, hit him on the sutures in the middle of the bregma
(front of head). I was unaware that I should trephine,
because I did not notice that the sutures had the injury of
the weapon right on them, since it became obvious only
later. First he had sharp pain towards the collarbone, later
in the sides, and convulsions into both arms, for he had the
wound in the middle of the head and the bregma. He was
trephined the fifteenth day and some pus came out. But
the membrane appeared uncorrupted.

28. At Omilus, a young girl of about twelve years died
in midsummer from a wound in the head, on the four-
teenth day. Someone hit her with a door and crushed and
shattered her skull. The sutures were in the wound. This
was recognized properly as needing trephination. It was
trephined, but not sufficiently. As some bone was left, pus
developed there. On the eighth day shivering and fever
seized her. When free from fever she was not as she
should have been, but was as on the previous days. On the

ninth day the rest was trephined, and a little pus with
blood appeared. The membrane was clean. Sleep seized
her, but the fever did not go away again. Spasms seized
her left hand, since the wound was on the right.

29. The man from Cyrene at Omilus, when he became
purulent in the lower belly, was cauterized later than he
should have been by thirty days. He was all right, and the
pus dried up in the belly. But in the hottest season, as he
was eating fruit and other inappropriate foods, fever
seized him and diarrhea, and he died.

30. Hecason, in Omilus, was cauterized late like the
other one. Still his belly almost dried up. Dysentery
seized him, and when he escaped it he used to eat every-
thing, until he swelled up all over, and pus broke out
below, and diarrhea, and he died.

31. Hecason, in Omilus: from lack of purging and poor
purging a sharp pain developed in his groin. It went away,
but fever seized him. He was bedridden for a long time;
he drank nothing, nor was he thirsty, but was weak and
trembling. His illness was cured, his body was in very
good condition, and he benefited from the things admin-
istered. But at the end, the illness broke out below, and
everything was passed, with much bile, and he lost cons-
ciousness and died. It had appeared that he would survive

the disease.

32. In Salamis, the man who fell on the anchor
received a wound in the belly. He had great pain. He
drank a (purgative) drug and there was no evacuation
below, nor did he vomit.

33. The woman who cut her throat: she choked. She
was later given much purgative medicine which produced
bowel movements.

34. The young man who came from Euboea: he was
purged of much bile below and had a quiet period. Stop-
ping he was feverish. Then, thinking he needed another,
he drank a weak medicine, root of elaterion,* and died four
days after drinking it: nothing had been purged, but sleep
held him, and his thirst could not be quenched.

35. The slave woman: after a potion she evacuated a
little bile above, and choked; passed much below. She
died that night. She was a barbarian.

36. The man from Eubius, having drunk elaterion, was
purged for three days. He, too, died. His arm was sup-
purating up to the elbow.

37. The child of Symmachus choked from bile while
asleep at night, while fever, too, held him. Although he
drank a drug, it did not hold back the disease,-nor was he
purged in the six days before his death.

38. The man who lived by the race course: he vomited
blood at night, and died the next day, vomiting much
blood and choking. And it went to the spleen, and he
passed much bloody material below.

39. The child, struck in the belly and liver by a mule,
died on the fourth day. His breathing was rapid, he was
not conscious, and fever held him.

40. Hermophilus’ son was sick eleven days. Fever held
him, he could not eat and did not pass the food. At first he
was delirious but that stopped during the night. The next
day he lay voiceless, wheezing, eyes rolled back, feverish.
When a feather was introduced he vomited black bile.
With an enema he passed much feces.

41. The foot of Aristion’s female slave spontaneously
ulcerated in the middle of the foot on the inner side. The
bones became corrupted, separated and came off little by
little, eroded. Diarrhea developed; she died.

‘42. A stout woman, who was healthy, after drinking a
purgative for the sake of conception was possessed in the
belly by pain; she had twisting in the intestines, and
swelled up. Breathing (difficulty) became prominent, and
weakness with pain. She vomited a little. Five times she
fainted dead away, so as to appear dead. Having vomited
after cold water she got no relief, either when the pain
came on or in relation to the breathing. But, when about
thirty amphorae of cold water were poured over her body,
that alone seemed to benefit her. Afterwards much bile
passed below, but when the pain possessed her she could
not move her bowels. She lived.

43. Antandrus, after a purgative, seemed otherwise
healthy but seemed to have a pain around the bladder. He
was purged immediately of much material very quickly.
From the middle part of the day strong pain held him in
the belly. Choking, weakness, tossing. He vomited noth-
ing, passed nothing by the bowels. He suffered in the
night; sleep did not come. The next day he passed much
feces, then blood, and died.

And his right ear became purulent when the pain had

45. The shoemaker, sewing the sole of a shoe, stabbed
himself on his needle, above the knee where the thigh is;
he pierced it about a finger’s depth. No blood flowed out,
the wound quickly closed up, the whole thigh became
elevated. The swelling extended to the gland at the groin
and to the flank. He died on the third day.

46. The man hit by an arrow in the gland at the groin,
whom we had seen, was preserved in a most unexpected
manner. The point was not removed because it was in too
deep, nor was there any notable hemorrhage, nor
inflammation, nor was he lamed. He had carried the point

cion was that the point was buried beneath in the midst of
his tendons, and that no vein and artery were lacerated.

47. The man hit by a sharp dart from behind just below
the neck: the wound he got was insignificant to look at,
since it was not deep. But after a short time, when the
dart had been removed, he was stretched and drawn back-
wards like those with opisthotonos.* And his jaws were
fixed; if he took liquid in his mouth and tried to swallow it,
he rejected it again into the nostrils. His condition other-
wise deteriorated and he died on the second day.

48. A young man who had sprinted on a rough road
had pain in his heel, especially the lower part, but the area
did not allow an apostasis because it was collecting
moisture. But on the fourth day the whole area became
black, up to the so-called astragalos (ankle joint) and to
the hollow behind the ball of the foot, and the blackness
did not break out: rather, he died first. He lived a total of
twenty days after his run.

49. The man struck in the eye was hit in the eyelid, and
the point penetrated some distance, though the barb stuck
out. His eyelid was cut and everything removed. Nothing
bad; the eye survived and became quickly healthy. There
was vigorous bleeding of an adequate amount.

4 The kind of tetanus that draws the patient backwards into a

> By conjecture (στενυγρὸς ὧν for συνάγων ὑγρόν) Littré pro-
duced an interpretation opposite to the one I offer. Littré says,
“The place was too dry to receive any abscession.” I think, how-
ever, that the author’s notion is that the area kept absorbing mois-
ture and did not permit the noxious matter to move up the leg and
out. This interpretation requires the assumption that he used
ἐλάμβανεν. “accepted,” to mean “allowed.”

50. The pretty virgin daughter of Nerius was twenty
years old. She was struck on the bregma (front of the
head) by the flat of the hand of a young woman friend in
play. At the time she became blind and breathless, and
when she went home fever seized her immediately, her
head ached, and there was redness about her face. On the
seventh day foul-smelling pus came out around the right
ear, reddish, more than a cyathus (one-fifth of a cup). She
seemed better, and was relieved. Again she was pros-
trated by the fever; she was depressed, speechless; the
right side of her face was drawn up; she had difficulty
breathing; there was a spasmodic trembling. Her tongue
was paralyzed, her eye stricken. On the ninth day she
died.

his food and phlegm. Aversion to food lasted two months.*

52. The butcher at Acanthus developed a humpback
after phrenitis. No drug helped, but red wine and eating
bread, refraining from bathing, being massaged with res-
traint, as being warmed with not much fomentation, but
gently.»

53. Simus’ wife aborted at thirty days. This was either
from drinking something or spontaneously. Pain re-
curred, vomiting of much bilious material, yellow and
green, whenever she drank anything. Spasms possessed
her, she kept biting her tongue. Towards the fourth day

they went into her tongue:* it became black and large.
The whites of her eyes were red. Sleepless. She died
towards the night of the fourth day.

54. Oregano is a bad thing for eyes when drunk, and
for teeth.»

55. The girl who fell from the cliff became speechless;
restless tossing persisted; she vomited much blood
towards night. She had fallen on her left side, and there
was a large flow. She had trouble drinking melicrat. Rasp-
ing in the throat, rapid breathing as of dying people.
Blood vessels around the face tense. She lay on her back;
feet warm; mild fever; voicelessness. On the seventh day
she broke forth her voice. The fevers were lighter. She
survived.°

56. Pythocles gave ill τον: water, and milk which he
had mixed with much water.

57. Chilblains: incise them, warm the feet, heat as
much as possible with fire and water.©

58. Bad for eyes: lentils, fruits, sweets, garden veget-
ables. For pains of lower back and legs and hip from exer-
tion, pour over them a mixture of sea water, vinegar, hot
water, and, dipping sponges in it, give fomentations and
bind them up with wool which still has the oil in it, and
with sheepskins‘

59. The glands of the fullers swelled up hard, painless,
both in the groin and at the neck, similar large swellings.
Fever. This had been preceded by coughing. In the third
or fourth month, bowels liquified. Fevers came on.
Tongue dry; thirst; painful bowel movements. They died.#

60. The man hit on the head with a stone by the
Macedonian .. . fell down. On the third day he was voice-
less. Tossing dBi: mild fever; light throbbing i in the tem-
ples. He heard nothing, was not conscious, nor was he
still. But on the fourth day, he showed movement; he had
moisture around the forehead, under the nose, and down
to the chin; and he died.

61. The man from Aenea, struck by a javelin at Delos
in the left side of the upper back. He had no pain in the
wound, but on the third day he had pain in the stomach.
No bowel movements, but feces in the evening with an
enema. The prostration was intermittent. In his seat
towards the testicles, on the fourth day, and to the pubis
and the intestines, pain like a thunderclap. He could not
keep still. He vomited bilious strongly-colored matter.
He had the eyes of those who have fainted. He died after
five days. There was a slight fever.°

4 Cf. Epid. 7.81.

1 infer from the parallel passage, Epid. 7.32, that a sentence
has been omitted here because a copyist skipped from the first
πληγείς to the second (“he was struck above the left temple, a
superficial wound. When hit, he blacked out and fell”).

62. The one hit by a javelin at the liver was immedi-
ately suffused with a deathly color; hollow eyes; distressful
restlessness. He died before the closing of the market-
place (he was struck at daybreak).*

63. Polemarchus’ wife had quinsy in the winter. Swel-
ling by the windpipe, much fever. She was phlebotom-
ised. The choking in her pharynx was relieved; the fever
persisted. About the fifth day, pain and swelling in the left
knee. She said she had gathering around the heart, and
she breathed like a diver who has surfaced. She made a
noise from her chest. It was something like the so-called
ventriloquists make. On the seventh or ninth day her
intestines broke loose towards night. Much moist excre-
ment of a bad sort, an amount considered to be a lot.
Voicelessness. She died.»

64. Purge the intestines in diseases when the diseases
are ripe (concocted); the lower intestine when you see the
diseases are settled. Indication: if the patients are not
nauseous or heavy-headed, when the fever is mildest, or
when it abates after the exacerbations. The upper intes-
tines during the exacerbations, because then it comes
upward spontaneously, when the patients are nauseous,
heavy-headed, and fretful.°

mortification, the forearm began to fester. When it had
already ripened, a sticky serum was expressed, as in the
cases of both Leogeniscus and Demarchus, son of Agleu-
teles. Similarly, it happens that there is no pus from very
much the same condition, as happened to Aeschylus’
child. When patients became purulent, most had chills
and fever.*

66. Parmeniscus’ child, deafness. Not to wash it (the
ear?) out was helpful, but to clean with wool, and only to
pour in olive oil or oil of bitter almonds; walking about,
rising early, drinking white wine.>

67. Aspasius’ wife had a severe pain in the tooth, and
her jaws were swollen. She was helped when she rinsed it
with castorium and pepper.©

68. For Callimedon’s son, what helped for the swelling
on the neck, which was hard, large, unripe, and painful,
was opening the vein of the arm, putting on a plaster of
linen saturated in white wine and oil, soaking it and bind-
ing iton.. 1 boiled too much. Or boil it with melicrat and
meal of fenugreek, barley, or wheat.

69. In Melisander’s case, when his gum took (a
disease?),° and was painful and very swollen: opening of
the vein of the arm. Egyptian alum reduces it at the

beginning.

sweat, nor did they cool down entirely after the sweat.
They got hot again, were significantly long, did not reach
proper crises, did not produce much thirst. In a few cases
they stopped in seven and nine days, and on the eleventh
and fourteenth and seventeenth and twentieth they
reached crises. For Polycrates, fever and the phenomena
of the sweat were such as have been described. There was
purging below after a drug, and the fever became mild.
Again, small sweats at the temples and around the neck

less than cold. His pain was relieved when he used a soft
clyster.*

came out. After that, problems with the tongue: he said he
could not articulate everything. Prediction made: that
opisthotonos would come. His jaws became fixed

entirely convulsed backward, with sweating. On the sixth
day after the prediction he died.»

jaws became fixed together towards night and opisthoto-
nos developed. Saliva, frothy, passed out through the
teeth with difficulty. He died on the third day.°

76. Thrinon, son of Damon, a wound by the ankle of
the lower leg, in the tendon; it was clean. When he was
eroded by a drug, the event was that he died of opisthoto-
nos.*

77. Is it true that in all suppurations, including those
around the eye, the distress comes towards night?»

78. There were coughs in winter, especially in south-
erly weather. In people who brought up much thick white
matter, fevers came on and stopped normally on the fifth
day. But the coughs stopped about the fortieth day, as
with Hegesipolis.°

79. Eutychides went from a choleric affection to con-
vulsions in the legs. He got better at the same time as pur-
gation through the bowel. He vomited much pure bile for
three days and nights, exceedingly red. He was weak and
nauseous. He could keep nothing down, and no solid
food. Much blockage both of urine and of the bowels.
Throughout the vomit soft “wine lees” came out and he
cast them out below.4

80. Androthales had voicelessness, delirium. These
passed; he survived many years and there was a relapse.
His tongue was dry throughout; unless he rinsed his
mouth he could not speak, and it was very bitter most of
the time. Sometimes he had pain at the heart; which phle-
botomy stopped. Drinking water or melicrat helped the
heart. He drank black hellebore, but bilious matter did
not pass, save a little. Finally, having taken to his bed in

the winter, he became delirious. The affections of the
tongue were similar, light fever, no pain, tongue colorless,
voice peripneumonic, nosebleeds. He tossed the covers
off. He asked that someone take him out, but he could say
nothing clearly. He died towards night.*

81. Nicanor’s affection, when he went to a drinking
party, was fear of the flute girl. Whenever he heard the
voice of the flute begin to play at a symposium, masses of
terrors rose up. He said that he could hardly bear it when
it was night, but if he heard it in the daytime he was not
affected. Such symptoms persisted over a long period of
time.»

82. Democles, who was with him, seemed blind and
powerless of body, and could not go along a cliff, nor on to
a bridge to cross a ditch of the least depth, but he could go
through the ditch itself. This affected him for some time.°

83. Phoenix’s problem: he seemed to see flashes like
lightning in his eye, usually the right. And when he had
suffered that a short time a terrible pain developed
towards his right temple, then in the whole head, and then
into the part of the neck where the head is attached to the
vertebra behind, and there was stretching and hardness
around the teeth. He kept trying to open them, straining.
Vomits, whenever they occurred, averted the pains I have
described, and made them more gentle. Phlebotomy
helped. A draught of τε un produced variegated

matter, not least leek-colored.4

and desire to end his life, but sometimes again with
optimism.*

85. Conon’s female servant, who began with a pain in
the head, became delirious. Crying, much weeping, sel-
dom quiet. She died about the fortieth day. When she
died she had been for ten days voiceless and having
convulsions.

86. A youth who had drunk much undiluted wine was
sleeping on his back in a tent. A shining snake went into
his mouth.© When he felt it, unable to consider what to
do, he ground his teeth together and bit off part of the
snake. He was seized by a great pain and brought up his
hands as though choking, tossed himself about, and died
in convulsions.

87. Timochareus’ male servant, after what appeared
melancholic affections of that kind and degree, died simi-
larly about the same day.4

88. Nicolaus’ son, about the winter solstice, had shiver-

cured.

95. At the siege of Datum, Tychon was struck in the
chest by a catapult. Shortly later he was overcome by a
raucous laughter. It appeared to me that the physician
who removed the wood left part of the shaft in the
diaphragm, and the patient thought so. The physician gave
him an enema towards evening and a drug by the bowel.
He spent the first night in discomfort. At daybreak he
seemed to the physician and others to be better. Predic-
tion: spasms would come on and he would die quickly. On
the subsequent night discomfort, sleeplessness. He lay on
his stomach for the most part. Convulsions began with
daybreak the third day and he died at midday.*

96. When Billus was wounded in the back, much
breath came out through his wound noisily. And he
hemorrhaged. Bandaged with drugs for stopping blood,
he recovered. The same thing happened to Dyslytas.?

97. The son of Phile whose skull was laid bare on his
forehead had fever on the ninth day. The bone became
livid. He died. Also the sons of Phanias and Euergetes,
whose bones became livid, had fever; their skin came away
from the bone and pus showed from beneath.©

the names have become garbled. Meineke suggests that the origi-

* This appears to indicate that there was some difficulty in the
birth process, and that shaking or succussion of some sort was used
to facilitate it.

EPIDEMICS 6

SECTION 1

1. In women in whom, after miscarriage and after swel-
lings about the uterus, it turns to headaches, there is pain
mostly around the front of the head, along with whatever
other pains come from the uterus: for these women it ter-
minates at the hip in the eighth or tenth month.

2. People with pointed heads: if they have strong necks
they are strong elsewhere and in the bones. But if they
have headaches and running ears, in them palates are hol-
low and teeth uneven.

3. People whose bone has gone away from the palate
have the nose settling in the middle; if where the teeth
are, they have the tip of the nose upturned.

4. The blossoming of infants at puberty, for some, con-
tains other changes as well.

5. However, there is also severe pain in a kidney when
they are filled with food or drink; they vomit phlegm and,
when the pains increase, greenish material. They become

Reddish sand develops and they urinate bloody matter.
Loss of sensation in the thigh on the same side. Rest is not
helpful, rather exercises. Avoid repletion; give hellebore
to young people, bleed at the groin, purge with diuretics,
thin them down and soften them.

6. In moist women the menses last long. But when
ae do not come quickly there is swelling.

. In Crannon, old pains were cold, but recent ones
warm, and mostly engorged with blood. The parts near
the hip were cold.

8. Affections that develop to powerful shivers do not
much lessen, except near their acme. Before the shivers,
retention of urine, if they come from favorable develop-
ments, and if the bowel is open and if there is sleep.
Perhaps also the manner of fever (makes a difference).
Perhaps also affections from fatigue. There are no apos-
tases in those who have shivering.

9. Weakening of the legs, for example in one who has
made a journey before the disease, or just after the com-
mencement of the disease: perhaps because the material
from fatigue settled in the joints, wherefore the weaken-
ing of the legs.

10. Swellings which go outwards, which taper to a peak,
and are ripened evenly, which are not hard, not pendent,
and not split, are best. The opposite are bad. The most
opposite are the worst.

EPIDEMICS 6.1

11. In autumn there are worms and cardialgic ailments
(heartburn), shivering, melancholy. One should watch for
paroxysms at the onset; also in the whole disease: as is the
exacerbation at evening, so is the year at its evening. Intes-
tinal worms also.*

12. In infants, a cough with stomach upset and con-
tinuous fever in the second month indicates generally that
there will also be swellings in the joints twenty days after
the crisis. If the material from above settles below the
navel in the lower joints, it is good. But if in the upper
ones. it does not similarly resolve the disease unless there
be festering. Festering in the shoulder for infants of that
age makes them weasel-armed. Eruption of sores below
can resolve that, if they are not round and deep, but that
kind are even otherwise injurious to children. A flow of
blood, too, can resolve it, but is more common in older
children.

13. Weeping in patients who are badly off in acute
diseases: good if they are voluntary, but flowing i involun-
tarily, bad. Bad if the eyelids are stretched out. Dryness
like chaff on them is bad, and dimming of sight and drying
of the eye. If there is wrinkling in the eye’s interior, if it is
fixed or rotates with difficulty, or if it whirls. I pass over
other phenomena.

14. Fevers: some are pungent to the touch, some gen-
tle. Some are not pungent but increasing. Some are sharp
but decreasing to the touch, some are straightway burning

hot, and some are faint throughout. Some dry, some salty,
some with blisters dreadful to see. Some damp to the
touch. Some are red, some livid, some yellow. And so on.

15. Stretching of the body and hardening of the joints
is bad. The joint itself being loosened is bad. Breakings of
the joints are bad. Boldness of eye shows delirium. Both
restlessness and drooping are bad.

SECTION 2

1. To dilate or to constrict, in some cases yes, in some,
no. Some humors should be expelled, some dried, some
injected, sometimes, but sometimes not. To reduce or
increase the body, the skin, flesh, and so on; here, too,
some yes, some no. To smoothe, roughen, harden, soften.
Some no. To wake up, to put to sleep. And other things of
the sort. Pump out, stretch again immediately what is
relaxed, relax what is tight. Induce another humor, not the
one running, help evacuate the one running, produce a
similar condition, just as dissimilars stop pain. Where it
inclines upward, being elevated, resolve it below, and in
the opposite case the same thing, for example, purging the
head, phlebotomy, when the removal is not random.*

4 This and similar lists of actions hint, in Epid. 6 as in Epid. 2
(e.g., 2.3.8), at the objectives of the physician: to be in control of
bodily processes (as he imagines them) in order to assure that the
process of disease is successfully carried through. The implica-
tions of drastic intervention appear to contradict the expectative
posture of Epid. 6.5.1 below. But the “wisdom of Nature”
described in 6.5.1 is what the active, interventionist physician
strives to imitate.

2. Apostases, such as buboes, are indications about the
parts which have the excrescences, and of other parts as
well, particularly the intestinal area. Those people are of
bad habitude.

3. Breathing: shallow and rapid; deep and intermit-

ried. Double inspiration, like people breathing in succes-
sively, hot, cold.#

4. A cure for constant yawning is deep breathing; in
those who cannot drink, shallow breathing.

5. On the same side occur pains in the side, stretching
of the hypochondria, swelling of the spleen, eruptions
from the nostrils; also ear problems generally on the
corresponding side with these. The same things coming to
the eyes as well. Is this true for all cases, or only when
what is below rises, as in affections by the jaws or the eye
and ear, while what goes down from above does not do so
according to side? Still, flush of quinsy and pains in the
ribs are by sides. Is it also material below the liver distri-
buted upward, like affections of testicles and varicose
veins? This must be investigated, where, whence, and
why.

6. Blood vessels in the temples unstable, color bad; if
there be breathing trouble or a dry cough (not too
violent>), you must expect a deposit on the joints, gen-

erally on the side where the intestines are distended.
These people generally are ruddy, even if they are of the
whiter type; they do not have nosebleeds, or very little. If
in nosebleeds there is a residuum, it is ready to cause trou-
ble. Persistent thirst and residual dryness of the mouth,
and indifference and aversion to food are of that sort. Such
fevers are not acute, though they tend to relapse.

7. Material left after a crisis tends toward relapses.
First there is swelling of the spleen, unless it terminate in
the joints or hemorrhage occur. Or a stretching of the
right hypochondrium unless there be exit of urine. For
this is the blockage of both, and the relapse occurs
predictably. One should oneself cause an apostasis if they
do not happen, deflect them when they are occurring,
accept them if they come of the right kind in the right
place. If they do not, offer vigorous assistance, but turn
them back if they are totally inappropriate, especially
when they are about to occur, but otherwise just after they
begin.*

8. Fourth day hemorrhages indicate unfavorable
crises.»

9. Fevers that remit one day have shivering on the
other, along with crisis between the fifth and seventh day.°

10. For those with tertians, the night before the parox-
ysm is difficult, the subsequent one generally more com-
fortable.

11. There are dry coughs without much irritation after
ardent fever; less than reasonable thirst, tongue not dry;
they are not from malignity but from the breathing prob-
lems, clearly, for when they talk or yawn they cough, oth-
erwise not. This happens mostly in fevers from fatigue.

12. Nothing at random. Overlook nothing. Opposites
by gradual addition: add them, pause between.

13. For a pain in the back of the head it helps to cut the
straight vein on the forehead.

14. Receptions into the hypochondria, from what kind
of things, what they are, what effect they have on the other
inflamed viscera, whether they are from the liver on to the
spleen, or the opposite, and similar things. Draw them
back, unless they are inclining where they should. If
where they should, open the channel for them in the νν ay
they each are tending.

frightened people and insomniacs, and whether it is good

blood thin because of that? Do they have the condition

darker because of that, and its blood vessels are more
external. It congeals more quickly, is composed more
quickly, moves, becomes softer and grows more slowly and
for a longer time. Because it is solidified it is more bilious
and more blooded, to the extent that that is the warmer

tling, by quiescence, by frequent fast walks (and with them
barley gruel mostly, little bread). Watch for signs of purg-
ing at the same time each day, for the collapse is sudden.
Reduce exercise to the extent that there is contraction.
For the whole collapses similarly. And when there is col-
lapse, give roast pork. When they are full, the sign is that
the body looks blooming again. A sign in exercises: the
sweat which flows comes out in drops, as from water pipes:
or a collapse after swelling.

2. The woman I had first treated in Crannon: a natur-
ally large spleen. Burning fever; ruddy; breathing
difficulty on the tenth. Sweat generally above, and also
some below on the fourteenth day.

3. There are fewer relapses, I think, in fevers with
coryzas from the head and with throat involvement.

4. All suppuration makes relapse unlikely, for it is at
the same time ripening, crisis, and apostasis.

5. Some people get intestinal gas from sexual activity,
like Damnagoras, and some from it, noise. Arcesilaus
swelled up besides. Intestinal gas is contributory to pro-
truding shoulder blades, for such people are flatulent.

6. Very cold water will rupture vessels and cause
coughs, like snow and ice, and it causes bulging, as of the
parotid glands, and swellings on the neck. Hardnesses are
also contributory.

7. Sedimentation after urination is more frequent in
children. Is it because they are warmer?

8. The postures which offer more relief: for example a
man twining or twisting vine poles with his hand was over-
come with pain and lay down. He took hold of the tip of a
peg that had been fixed above, hung on, and was eased.

9. The man I saw beside the bridge: he had ruined his
legs with working in the mountains.* He was not much
wasted in one calf, but his upper legs were seriously so.
He was incontinent of urine and semen.

10. Those physiques that have winglike shoulder
blades because of weakness of impulse from the lungs: if
there are morbid flows it is bad, whether they achieve
secretion or not.

11. Shivering begins for women more from the loins
and along the back, then to the head. In men it is more
behind than in front. We shiver more on the outside than
the inside of the body, e.g. on the forearms and thighs.
But the skin is less dense, as the hair shows. In other
lesions whence there is shivering it perhaps begins from
the blood vessels.»

12. The summary conclusion comes from the origin
and the going forth, and from very many accounts and
things learned little by little, when one gathers them
together and studies them thoroughly, whether the things
are like one another; again whether the dissimilarities in

them are like each other, so that from dissimilarities there
arises one similarity. This would be the road (1.6.,
method). In this way develop verification of correct
accounts and refutation of erroneous ones.

13. Hemorrhage from the nostrils in the pale dark-
complexioned or in the pale ruddy-complexioned or in the
pale-complexioned: having removed a little, pack it tight
with dry substance. In the rest use less packing. For dry
substance you need white drugs, formed like an oak gall.

14. When they commence sexual activity or their
voices change, they have nosebleeds. In the sexual act
some have rumbling noises, like Arcesilaus. And some, in
anticipation, shiver and have corrugation of the skin. And
some, in the sexual act, have wind in the intestines, like
Damnagoras.°

15. Guard against changes: reduce food, avoid fatigue,
avoid drinking to fullness.

ἃ Notable in this attempt to formulate an inductive methodol-
ogy is the sophisticated approach to what would later be called
empirical method, but without technical, philosophical language.
The methodology is self-conscious, as the word “road,” “method,”
shows. Δοκιμασίη. “verification,” is a word for auditing of accounts
of officeholders at the end of their terms, ἔλεγχος, “refutation,”
has some flavor from testimony in legal proceedings.

Ὁ This is a prescription for something like the “white root,” a
medicine employed as a styptic in the gynecological works; here it
is to be applied in a round pellet, perhaps with wool (cf. Nat. Fem.
32, 7.352.16 Li.). While the gall, an excrescence on the oak, was
used medically and for ink, it is referred to here for its size and
shape.

16. All thinning down relaxes the skin, later tightens it.
Feeding up does the opposite. Corrugation is of the col-
lapsing skin, stretching of the well nourished. The shrivel-
ing, the smoothness, a sign of each: biliousness, ruddiness.
So with the sagging of the breasts, but thin ones elevated
and tightened. Indeed, one might not expect that it was
from that cause, but would expect it to come from increase
of flesh.

17. Overfullness is apparent,* the blood vessels are
visible.

18. Herodicus killed fever patients with running, much
wrestling, hot baths. A bad procedure. Fever is inimical
to wrestling, walks, running, massage; that is trouble on
trouble for them. Swelling of the blood vessels, redness,
lividness, pallor, soft pains in the ribs.>

19. When it is necessary to prevent thirst, keep the
mouth closed, do not speak, inhale cold wind with drink.

“Galen says that this reading, which our manuscripts carry,
was introduced by Capito, who substituted it for κλεῖς περιφανέες,
“When collarbones are obvious.” I do not credit Galen’s statement
that Capito did so arbitrarily, without basis in ancient evidence.

b Galen, in his commentary, says that he will not discuss
whether Hippocrates refers here to Herodicus of Selymbria or of
Leontini. Apparently there was discussion in antiquity. Plato, in
Republic 406a, satirizes Herodicus as the inventor of contem-
porary “pampering” medicine: he was an athletic trainer with a
chronic disease. He mingled medicine and gymnastic and spent
his life tending his disease and keeping himself alive. In Prota-
goras 316e Plato speaks of the gymnastic trainer Herodicus, “now
of Selymbria, formerly of Megara,” a “first-rate sophist.” It is pos-
sible that these various notices fit together, but difficult to see
how.

20. The point of departure should be studied, whence
they first began to be ill, whether pain in the head, or the
ear, or the side; an indication is the teeth, and the parts in
which the glands swell.

21. Developing sores and swellings bring fevers to
their crises. Those in which they do not occur are without
crisis. Those in which they persist have the surest and
quickest relapses.*

22. Globular expectoration portends delirium.»

23. People with hemorrhoids are not affected with
pleuritis or peripneumonia or spreading sores or boils or
terminth-like swellings.© Also, perhaps, not with lepra
(white, flaking skin), and perhaps not with other things.
Indeed, many people whose hemorrhoids are healed
untimely are soon seized by these kinds of diseases, which,
coming so, are often deadly.4 That is true also of other
apostases, like fistulas and others. Drainage cures condi-
tions on which it supervenes, prevents them when it pre-
cedes. These places which receive with pain, heaviness or
anything else, give protection from another affection. The
communion with other things.

© The terminth-like swelling is apparently similar in shape to
the fruit of the terebinth (turpentine) tree. This simile is not in
our mss. of Epid. 6, but is in Humors ch. 20 (Li. V 500.9), a passage
drawn from Epid. 6, and was in the version of Epid. 6 that Galen
read.

humor they expectorate those sorts of things. In some,
blood should be let at the right time in those diseases. But
in others, as in these people, it is not proper. Negative
indication in addition to the seasons, for those spitting
bloody matter: pleuritis, bile.

SECTION 4

1. People in whom swellings by the ear, appearing
towards the crisis, do not suppurate: when that area
becomes soft they will have a relapse according to the pat-
tern of relapses. When the relapse occurs the swelling
rises again and persists like the relapses in fevers, in a
similar period. In these swellings there is hope that they
will depart towards the joints.

2. In affections with prostration from fatigue, white,
thick urine, like that of Antigenes, comes forth sometimes
on the fourth day, and wards off the apostasis. If there is
also an adequate hemorrhage from the nose, it is sure to.

3. The man with intestinal problems on the right: he
became arthritic and was relieved. When he was cured,
his distress increased.

ing parturition a superficial pain, she developed intense
suffering. Straightway she seemed to have noise in the
chest. On the following day, she had asthma and pain in
the right loin. Whenever she had the one pain she had the
other, and at the same time she had the asthma also.
When the pain stopped so did the asthma. Foamy expec-
torant, at the beginning bright colored, but when it sat it
was like thin, bilious vomit. The suffering was worst when
she worked with that hand. Avoidance of garlic, pork,
mutton, beef, and, in her activities, shouting, passion.

5. The one who was corroding on the head, to whom at
the beginning the burnt stiptic ointment was applied, had
an apostasis elsewhere, perhaps because the bone was
going to come away. It came away on the sixtieth day. His
sore was above the ear at the crown.

6. He has intestines like a dog’s, but larger, hung from
the mesocolon. And that is hung from tendons from the
backbone behind the stomach.

7. Kindnesses to those who are ill. For example to do
in a clean way his food or drink or whatever he sees, softly
what he touches. Things that do no great harm and are
easily got, such as cool drink where it is needed. Entrance,

13. For a warm nature: cooling, water for drinking,

4 This description of courtesy to the patient drew much atten-
tion from the ancient commentators. As Galen’s commentary
indicates, their attention produced considerable variation in the
wording of the transmitted text. While Galen takes the last part,
after “Entrance,” to relate entirely to the grooming, smell, and
comportment of the medical man, and offers interesting anec-
dotes of boorish physicians and of the Roman emperor's feeling
about haircuts, I have preferred the interpretation offered here.
Cf. Manetti and Roselli, ad loc., and on the tradition of the
physician’s indulgence of the patient, K. Deichgraber, Medicus
Gratiosus, Abh., Akad. der Wiss. und der Lit., Mainz 1970, Nr. 3.
For eisodos meaning “manner of entrance” or “visit,” cf. Decorum
chs. 11-13, Loeb Hippocrates vol. 2, p. 295.

δ Galen informs us that this passage baffled commentators.
Some attached it to the preceding, as describing how to prepare
warm drinking water to please patients, while others took it as a
discussion of the best way to improve water for medical purposes.

14. Sleep covered in the cold.

15. Sleep while sitting up: drowsing erect.

16. Weak regimens are cold. Strong ones, warm.

17. Of natural waters: what comes from the aether (dry
upper air), from thunder, is good. What comes out of a
hurricane, bad.

18. Water makes hunger, sleeplessness makes hunger.
For a hot nature and in a hot season, sleep in the cold fat-
tens, in the heat, thins. Healthy discipline, not gluttoniz-
ing, not avoiding work. Sleep after being awake cures
superficial thirst. In arousal from sleep, waking cures.

19. Those with most heat have very big voices: that is
because cold air is most abundant. The products of two
great things are great. Those with hot intestines have cold
skin and are thin. They have prominent veins and are
quick to passion.

20. Ina dry land the tribe of birds thrives.*

21. Lubriciousness: whichever testicle appears out-
side; if right, male, if left, female.»

22. To the degree that the eyes are strong, so too is the
body. Color tends towards the better or worse. And it is
proper that the state of nutrition is followed by the exte-
rior. Fatal signs: through the skin an extremely hot exhala-
tion. And before, the nose sends out cold breath. Vital
signs, the opposite.

ἃ The ancients were intrigued by the fact that birds have no
urinary bladder.

> T have interpreted the word τράγος, “goat,” as lubriciousness,
the urge to sexual activity, for which cf. τραγίζειν, Epid. 6.3.14.
Galen and others take the word to refer to pubescence. In any
case, this aphorism appears to deal with predicting the sex of the
child that will be produced.

23. Exercise before food for health.

SECTION 5

1.4 The body’s nature is the physician in disease.
Nature finds the way for herself, not from thought. For
example, blinking, and the tongue offers its assistance, and
all similar things. Well trained, readily and without
instruction, nature does what is needed. Tears, moisture
of the nostrils, sneezing, ear wax, production of saliva in
the mouth, the intake of breath, exhalation, yawning,
coughing, hiccough, in a variety of ways. The excretion of
urine and wind (wind of both kinds, from food and
breath), and in women, the things characteristic of them,
and in the rest of the body sweat, itchings, stretching, and
so on.

2. The soul of man grows until death. If the soul be
burnt up with a disease it consumes the body.

* This is the famous statement that nature heals, to which com-
mentators add that the physician is only nature’s auxiliary. The
text of the manuscripts shows signs of commentators’ interfer-
ence. This passage plays on the double meaning of physis: “the
physique of the body,” and “nature” in a more general sense, as
opposed to culture and education.

3. Diseases that grow old with us leave us in old age by
concoction, by resolution, and by rarifaction.

4. Healing is dispute with a disease, not agreement.
Cold both helps and kills. The same for the effects of heat.

5. Anger contracts the heart and the lungs and draws
the hot and the moist substances into the head. Content-
ment releases the heart and those substances. Labor is
food for the joints and the flesh, sleep for the intestines.
Intellection is a stroll for the soul in men.

6. In wounds blood collects. You must help to fill the
empty place.

7. If the ear aches, wrap wool around your fingers,
pour on warm oil, then put the wool in the palm of the
hand and put it over the ear so that something will seem to
him to come out. Then throw it in the fire. A deception.

8. The tongue indicates the urine. Greenish tongues
are bilious. Biliousness is from fat. Ruddy ones are from
blood. Black ones are from black bile. Dry ones are from
smoky burning and from the area of the womb. White
ones are from phlegm.

9. Urine matches the body and drink in color, and,
being within the watery drink, is a melting (of the body).4

10. The tongue takes the color of what touches it,
whence we know the humors by it. If flesh is salty to the
taste it is from excess.

11. Ifthe nipples of the breasts and the areola are pale,
the hollow space is 1.

12. Wax in people’s ears: if sweet, a mortal sign, if
bitter, not.

13. It is supportive to go to another land in long
illnesses.

14. Very weak foods contain short-lived sustenance.

15. For kedmata, cut the veins behind the ears.© Ven-
ery helps diseases from phlegm. For those with heated
intestines strong food or drink is upsetting. A condition of
black bile is normalized by hemorrhoids. Sexual inter-
course chills incipient illnesses. Cold hardens the area of
the intestine. If you want to speed up the purging action
of hellebore in drink, prescribe bathing or eating. Blood
in sleep retreats more to the interior. Shivering is from
the upper gut, fever more from the lower. Rapid intake of

4 The meaning of this sentence is dubious. Probably the text is
corrupt.

b Perhaps this refers to the womb, as Galen says, perhaps to
the breast.

° Kedmata is a word that puzzled the ancient commentators. It
probably signifies an affection of the joints in the inguinal area. Cf.
Epid. 7.122.

air, if the lung is dry or the weather hot and dry.* Much
sleep reduces one who has been emptied by purge. The
coldest foods: lentils, millet, cucumber. Sores break out if
one exercises unpurged. For women who eat elaterion or
wild cucumber, there is purgation for their infants. Food
eaten by a hot nature, cold inside, suffering outside, from
sun, fire, clothing, in summer weather, and for the oppo-
site the opposite.” Some foods are digested quickly, others
slowly.

SECTION 6

1. The flesh draws both from the intestine and from
the exterior. Obvious in exercise is the perception that
there is exhalation also. A small blood vessel, heated with
fullness of blood, raises up burning heat and straightway
separates it off; in those in which there is fat, yellow bile;

in which blood, black bile.¢

ἃ This sentence was variously written, punctuated, and inter-
preted in antiquity, as Galen tells us. I have interpreted the read-
ing of mss. M and V, but have omitted ὑγρόν, which Galen
attributes to Capito.

> Neither the grammatical structure nor the intended meaning
of this sentence is clear.

© This is apparently an interpretation of the aspect of the skin’s
surface, its varicolored vessels, and its absorption of, e.g., olive oil,
and excretion of sweat, etc. Galen’s commentary and other cita-
tions offer an expanded text of this passage adapted to ancient dis-
cussions of breathing: “The perception is clear that the whole body

inhales and exhales.”

boiled wine, vinegar, salt.

4. A man, from fatigue from a journey: weakness and
heaviness, expectoration. He had a cough from the head.
A fever, acute to the touch, somewhat biting. Heaviness in
the head on the second day, his tongue parched. His nose
did not bleed when scratched with a fingernail. On the
left, the spleen enlarged, hard, painful.

5. People seized with quartan fevers are not seized
with epilepsy. If they have it already and a quartan fever
supervenes they are cured. Diseases are responses to what
kinds of things? As I said about birds, bile because they are
bilious. Heat is a sign of acridness. Consider blockage,
free passage. The fact that pains in the ribs stop in deliri-
ous people. And fever for some, but some not, but with
sweats. And some with blockage. And in some drying and
stretching of the skin, and saltiness. Loss of sensation,

what kind from what in one with hip troubles. Through
the ears, from the ears: most deaths on the third day.
Those with stretched dry hard skin reach the end without
sweat; those with slack skin die with sweat. In unstable
conditions change helps; they should change to the
appropriate things before deterioration, as with Chaerion,
the irritations that brought on hoarseness.

6. A distinction: if a healthy area remains when you
have removed the cause below, purge, bind off, expel,
excise, or cauterise. If it does not, not.

7. In people who have frequent copious nosebleeds, if
they are of uniform bad color, uniform, they are rarely
helpful to them. If they are bright red it is otherwise. For
those with healthy heads undiluted wine helps; those
without, not.

8. Those whose noses are moist by nature and whose
semen is moister and more copious: they are healthy. But
those with the opposite condition tend to illness.

9. Globular expectoration portends delirium, as with
the man in Plinthius. He had hemorrhage from the left
nostril and, on the fifth day, was cured.#

10. Urine which leaves a large deposit helps delirium,
as in Dexippus’ case after he became bald.

SECTION 7

1. Coughs began around the winter solstice, on the
fifteenth or twentieth day after frequent change between
southerly weather and northerly with snow. Some affec-
tions were shorter, some longer. Pneumonia frequently
followed the longer ones. Before the equinox in most
affections there was relapse, generally around forty days
from the commencement. Some had brief affections with
successful crises. Others had inflammations of the throat
and others quinsy, others paralyses, others, primarily chil-
dren, night blindness. The pneumonias were very brief.
Night blindness did not develop subsequently in those
with coughs or it quickly replaced the coughs, and the
inflammations of the throat were brief, more so than the
night blindness. The quinsy and paralyses: coughs pro-
duced hard, dry matter or rarely small amounts of con-
cocted matter, sometimes very rarely. Those who were
more affected in the voice, or had more chills, more fre-
quently ended in quinsy. Those who labored with their
hands had paralyses only in them, those who rode horses
or did more walking or other exertion with their legs had
paralytic weakness in the hip or legs and pain and fatigue
in hams and shanks. Weakness that led to paralysis was
particularly harsh and violent. All these complications

developed in the relapses, not much at the commence-
ment. For many patients the coughs relented in the
meantime but did not stop entirely. But they were there
at the relapse. Those whose speech would break into
coughing were mostly not feverish, but some had brief
fevers. None of these developed pneumonia or paralyses,
nor was there anything else exhibited, but it reached a
crisis in the voice. The night blindness became esta-
blished just as the affections from other causes. Night
blindness problems developed mostly in children. The
dark parts of the eyes which have the small pupil were var-
icolored, and so was the whole dark part generally.
Patients were large-eyed more often, not small-eyed, and
with straight hair and dark hair.

Women did not suffer similarly from the cough, but
few of them had fever, and of those very few went into
pneumonia, and those the older. All survived. I attributed
this to their not going out as the men did and because they
were not otherwise susceptible like the men. Two free
women got quinsy, and that was of the mildest sort. Slave
women got it in a more extreme way, and those with very
violent cases died very quickly. But many men got it; some
survived, some died. For the most part if they only could
not drink it was mild and bearable. Those who also spoke
unintelligibly had more troublesome and longer cases.
Those whose blood vessels swelled at the temple and neck

had painful cases. Those whose breathing was elevated
had it worst since they also became hot externally.

As I have written, these were the relationships of the
affections. The first described occurred also without the
later, but the later ones not without the former. Patients
died most quickly when they were chilled with a feverish
chill. Nothing I tried worth notice helped these, not when
they were pressed to evacuate the bowels, not roiling the
stomach, not phlebotomy. And I cut the vein under the
tongue, and tried emetics on some. Those affections con-
tinued for the whole summer as did the outbreaks gen-
erally. Initially with the dry weather painful ophthalmias
were epidemic.

2. Stopping blood from the veins; fainting; posture:
withdrawing it elsewhere; wrapping in lint; application;
bandaging; plastering. Most cases have swollen glands
because of the hepatic vein. There was also a bad indica-
tion from degeneration of the artery (windpipe?) as in
Posidonia. In death those who hemorrhaged did not sweat
on the forehead, but, as it were, collapsed. Those with

Easiness of the intestine foretold upset, as with Posidonia,
and effects such as worms produced. Along with loss of
flesh, stretching before death, and the navel was drawn
out large by it. There were ulcerations of the gums where
they came over the teeth.

EPIDEMICS 6.7

3. The fact that one can prescribe many things prop-
erly for each person: some are effective, some not. For
example, this sort of thing: to be scattered and to be
compressed; to be hardened and to be softened and
ripened; and to force them to where they incline. The
diffident, change being necessary, must be roused when
they grow torpid.

4. Areas of neglect: incise the dropsical quickly, cau-
terize the consumptive, immediately trephine heads, and
so on. Do not palpate the liver of the dropsical, nor any of
the insides. It is similar with most knees.

5. In Xenarchus’ affection by the heart: inhaling ade-
quate warmth into the sore; warm to counter the evacua-
tion.

6. From the outset, a sign of derangement and the like:
the quality of the voice in people in passion: whether it is
that way by nature when he is not angry. Or the eyes, for
those in whom they are by nature disturbed like those of
normal people who are angry, and the other things on the
same rationale. And of diseases, the way consumption
makes the body: if he is that way naturally he will come
into that kind of disease. And the rest similarly.

7. Exhausting coughs also attach themselves to dam-
aged areas, especially the joints. In exhausting fevers,
however, coughs become dry. Dry coughs become fixed in
the joints with fever if they settle there.

8. Breathing that is without symptoms in consumptive
people is bad. So, too, in the barren, and all such things
that come from the same condition.

9. For the consumptive the fall of the year is bad. And
the spring is bad when the fig leaves are like a crow’s feet.@

10. In Perinthus most of them in spring; an epidemic
winter cough was a contributing cause, and for the rest as
many diseases as were chronic, for they were powerful in
ambiguous conditions. But it did not happen in some
chronic diseases, for example in those with kidney pains,
but did for the rest, for example the man to whom Cyn-
iscus brought me.

11. One must note the seasons of pains in the sides,
chest, and elsewhere, whether they differ greatly, because
when patients are better they are again worse though they
have done nothing wrong.

SECTION 8

1. In lengthy intestinal affections aversion to food is
bad, especially if there is fever.

2. Ulcers saturated with fluid are of evil nature.

3. Ina patient with an affection of the loins, there was
an incursion to the ribs and eruptions that are called seps.

“The author is punning on “phthisis” and “phthinoporon”
(autumn). For the generic statement that diseases are worse in
the fall, see Epid. 2.1.4 and Aph. 3.9-10. In the Works and Days
(679-82) Hesiod sets the time for spring sailing when the topmost
fig leaves are like the crow’s foot.

nine is perfected in thrice that. That after the menses
there is gaping on the right and the left. Dampness

servant of Hippothous, although by herself in her mind
she was conscious of the things that followed on her
disease.

11. Of an age with one’s age, or earlier or later than is
proper for the age: such as, if there was loss of faculties in
winter for one who was, in age, an old man, or for an
infant, and in the summer. Or earlier or later than
appropriate, the eruption of teeth, growth of hair, semen;
excess and defective growth of hair, thickness, toughness,
diminution.

12. The congenital and that in and of itself, to what
extent more or less.

13. The season of the year in which the time in which it
developed was also earlier or later: rainy or with drought,
cold or hot, calm or windy, with what sort of winds at the
beginning of the season or middle or end or throughout,
incidental or persistent.

14. The time of the disease, the things that follow on it,
the periods, and of the periods the longer ones and
whether they are increasing, and the increments, and, of
the disease generally, the increment, slackening, the
acme, and whether it is more or less perfect, when, how,
and in what season and age.

15. The types of epidemic diseases. And whether at
their coming on anyone commenced vomitless: for exam-
ple, either when they drank something or retained it or

were slightly purged.

ἃ ἀδοξέω does not mean “despair” except here. It generally
means, as Galen and his predecessors note, “think badly of a per-
son.” I think that we should add the meaning “despair, feel
diffidence” to the lexicon.

16. Possibly feverish, the excessively pale and those
with (cracking) lips.* As is the type of disease, so are its
time periods.

17. The task is to bring the body under consideration.
Vision, hearing, nose, touch, tongue, reasoning arrive at
knowledge.

18. Residual swellings on the upper eyelids when the
others have subsided: relapse. If they are hard and red on
their tips, especially so. The viscous ones and those that
protrude are included among them, as in the case of Phar-
salus and Polymedes. Swellings that rupture or are livid
belong either to inflammation of the eyes or to ulcers, for
those are different that are developed from abscesses and
empyemas because their significance is ambiguous.?

19. Cramps and pains around the navel sometimes
from onions, also from garlic, the latter later. Red erup-
tions are sometimes resolved from the neck and
thereabouts on the face. Dark ones, also for those whose
necks are affected, are bad, also if there are blisters; they
are bad also for those for whom they cause systemic upset.

20. The melancholic Adamantus once vomited black
matter after too much purslane, at another time after
onions.

21. Fevers in which the lips are ulcerated are perhaps
remittent, with chills on the third day, but fevers that are
immediately very hot to the touch are always resolved.

@ Cf. Epid. 2.1.10.

ΒῚ have no confidence in this text and translation of ch. 18,
which seems to address swellings that do or do not come to a head.
Galen’s commentary indicates considerable confusion about it in
antiquity.

22. One must consider how it is in the joints: are they
not purulent?

23. And the habitude, things from which we are
healthy: in diet, covering, exercise, sleep, sexual activity,
mental activity.

24. How (to know) diseases, from what things come
what patterns, towards what places they turn, originate,
settle, stop. Those in which one is powerless, fearful.
Opposite diet in disease. Easily bore, borne with
difficulty.

25. Regimen, how far to know is not to comprehend,
for there are many accidents.

26. For good physicians similarities cause wanderings
and uncertainty, but so do opposites. It has to be con-
sidered what kind of explanation one can give, and that
reasoning is difficult even if one knows the method. For
example, if a man has a pointed head and flat nose, is
sharp-nosed, bilious, vomits with difficulty, full of black
bile, young and has lived at random: it is hard for all these
to be in concord with one another.*

was near twenty-five years, had frequent wet dreams, and

* Galen’s interpretation reads “Evaluate all this together, tak-
ing into account also the quantitative degrees.”

tion of the case of Deinias’ child, Epid. 7.117.

..., having wrestled too much with ἃ stronger man and fal-
len on his head, withdrew and drank a large quantity of
cold water. Afterwards, during that night, restlessness,
discomfort, cold extremities. On the next day I went to his
house. When a suppository was applied to his bowel there
was no movement; he urinated a little, having urinated
nothing before. He bathed toward night. No less restless-

chill of the extremities. He grew feverish and sweated
after having drunk melicrat. He died on the third day.

and grew hairy all over, she grew a beard, her voice
became harsh, and though we did everything we could to
bring forth menses they did not come, but she died after
surviving a short time. The same thing happened to
Nanno, Gorgippus’ wife, in Thasos. All the physicians I
met thought that there was one hope of feminizing her, if
normal menstruation occurred. But in her case, too, it was
not possible, though we did everything, but she died
quickly.

1. After the Dogstar, fevers were accompanied with
sweat, nor did they cool down entirely after the sweats.
They got hot again, were significantly long, did not reach
proper crises, did not produce much thirst. In a few cases
they stopped in seven and nine days, in other cases in
eleven and fourteen and seventeen and twenty-two. For
Polycrates, fever and the phenomena of the sweat were
such as have been described. He had drastic purging
below after a drug, and the phenomena of the fever were
so mild as to be imperceptible, except at the temples. He
had the sweats toward evening around the head, neck,
chest, then again on to the whole body cavity, and again he
became fevered. Around the twelfth and fourteenth days
his fever increased. Few feces. He took gruel after the
purge. About the fifteenth, pains in the belly by the spleen
and left abdomen. Applications of heat helped less than
cold. His pain was relieved when he used a soft clyster.
(The same thing helped Cleocydes too for a similar pain,
and also in a fever.)* And about the sixteenth day the fever

“This comparison with the case of Cleocydes seems intrusive
in the sequence of the case. One might suspect that it is a note

made by a later professional reader.

seemed milder. There were bowel movements of pure
bile, and his alertness increased. Breathing moderate;
sometimes he would take a large breath and exhale again
in great volume, like one in a faint or as one who has
walked in stifling heat would sit in the shade and catch his
breath.

Then on the seventeenth, in the evening, as he was get-
ting up to sit on a chair, he fainted. He lay speechless for a
long time, perceiving nothing. He took melicrat with
difficulty, straining the cords in his neck, as though his
throat was dry and he was quite powerless. He came to
himself with difficulty. After that the fevers became
milder. His illness ceased on the twenty-second day.*

2. At about the same time Pythodorus had a continu-
ous fever. On the eighth day there was sweat, and again he
grew hot. On the tenth, sweat again. On the twelfth he
had barley broth. Till the fourteenth day it was not
apparent, but was there at the temples. But he was not
thirsty, and he seemed to himself to be healthy. There
were sweats every day. On the fifteenth day he drank
broth made from a nestling bird, and vomited bile and was
disturbed in the lower intestines. The fever intensified
and again abated. There was much sweat, and his whole
body was chilled, save the temples. The pulse did not
abate, but seemed to labor for a short time so that it
seemed that he would become fevered. On the twenty-
fourth day when he had already been eating food sev eral
days, he had a high fever after his afternoon meal and into

the evening. Delirious talk as he was going to sleep. Then
the fever persisted, strong and continuous. He was sleep-
less sometimes one night, sometimes two, but all the rest
of the time he was a glutton for sleep. It was great effort to
wake him, he babbled in his sleep, and if ever he was
roused he had trouble coming to himself. No thirst.
Breathing measured, and like that of Polycrates at times.

Tongue not pale. After the seventh day of relapse he was
given broth, and after the fourteenth, food. About the first
seven days, belching, and at times, after drinking, he vom-
ited bilious material without nausea, up until the time
when the lower bowel was opened. After the time of
relapse, the sweats left him, unless some appeared on the
forehead, like a sign. After sleep his tongue lisped from
the dryness unless his mouth was rinsed, and there were
fissures from sores around it, and on the lower lip as well,
and around the teeth. Small bowel movements: on the
fifteenth day of relapse they were more frequent and
gluey; pomegranate extract stopped them. Urine as in
protracted illnesses. Towards the end he had chest pain
when he swallowed liquid, or even had a hand on his chest.
When he drank cumin and egg in broth the pain subsided.
His tongue: manna helped it. On the fiftieth day after the
first, at the rising of Arcturus, brief sweating around the
loins and chest. The body, except the temples, was chilled
intensely for a short time. On the fifty-first day it remitted.
On the fifty-second he was free from fever.

3. Near the time of the fall equinox, the son of Erato-
laus got dysentery, and fever came on him: his bowel
movements were bilious, thin, copious, moderately
bloody; violent pain in the belly. When he drank whey
and boiled milk his pains and the bloodiness moderated,
but the bilious excrement persisted and he had to get up
often, but it was less painful. The feverishness seemed to
the patient and to people in general not to be there at all in
the whole time after the first five or six days, so obscure
was it, but there was pulsation at the temples. His tongue
lisped from dryness, and he was moderately thirsty and
wakeful. But he was already taking broth and wine. When
he was already at the fourteenth day the areas by his ears
grew hard, one after the other; without coction they
softened again entirely, but were moderately painful. The
bowel movements did not cease, and were bilious
throughout; when he took the herb in gruel the bilious-
ness and pains moderated for a time, but movements
remained large, frequent, and watery. He had an intense
aversion to food, and had to be forced to eat anything.
Symptoms of fever, of the tongue, and of thirst persisted
such as I have described. No sweats. Loss of memory of
this sort: he would ask something he wanted to know, sub-
side awhile and ask it again, and repeat it as though he had
not spoken. He would forget that he was sitting at stool
unless someone were to remind him of it. He himself
noticed the ailment. He was not unaware. Breathing like

that of a healthy person. From the thirtieth to the fortieth
day the belly pain increased considerably. He lay on his
back and could not turn even a little way without the pain
being dreadful. Someone else had to feed him. There was
much fecal matter, thin and separated, its colors wine
dark, the same quantity as what he ate, and sometimes
bloody. The tone of his body: extreme emaciation and
weakness; he could no longer stand when someone sup-
ported him. And to the touch in the area between the
navel and the bottom of the breastbone there was such
palpitation as occurs not even at the heart from running or
from fright. When he drank boiled ass’s milk to the
amount of nine Attic measures in two days, he had a
violent bilious purge, the pains ceased, and he got an
appetite for food. After this he drank about four Attic
cotyls of cow’s milk all told, at the rate of two cyathi daily.*
First it was mixed with a sixth part of water and a little red
astringent wine. He ate one meal a day, in the evening,
bread up toa half-choenix,» ash-baked, with plain rockfish,
or goat’s or sheep’s flesh. He drank the milk, after the first
ten days and up to the fortieth, without water, and with a
small portion of red wine. Sweating occurred after the
seventieth day from the beginning, after the bath towards

one, and no others.

4. But Ctesicrates was helped more by milk in gruel
than by goat’s whey when he had pain all through the
intestines, distress, many bowel movements and bloody
ones, and swelling about the feet beginning around the
twenty-fifth day. Agrianus also. But Caenias’ son was
helped by boiled ass’s milk.

5. Cydis’ son, about the winter solstice, had shivering
and fever, distress in the right ear, and headache. But that
kind of distress had persisted from babyhood, with drain-
ing, a fistular sore and a bad smell, but still was not for the
most part painful. But at that time the pain and the
headache were terrible. On the second or third day he
vomited bile. When he sat at stool it was bilious, gluey,
egglike, pale yellow. Towards night on the fourth day and
the fifth, some delirious talk. The pain in the head and the
ear was dreadful, and the fever. On the sixth, bowel move-
ment from linozostis; the heat and the pain appeared to
abate. On the seventh he seemed well, but the throbbing
in the temples did not abate. No sweating occurred. On

the eighth day he had barley broth, and beet broth

towards evening; sleep at night, totally without pain, and
on the ninth, until the period towards sundown. But
towards night terrible pain in the head and the ear. Flows
of pus from the ear coincided with his times of greatest
discomfort, right from the start. The whole ninth night,
and the next day, and most of the night, he did not recog-
nize anyone, and groaned continuously. During the day
he came to himself and the pains slackened and signs of
fever were more moderate. When he took linozostis on
the eleventh day, he passed bilious movements with
mucus, foul-smelling. On the twelfth and the thirteenth
day, moderately better. On the fourteenth, beginning at
dawn and up to midday, sweat over the whole body, with
sleep and much coma. It was hard to rouse him. But he
wakened towards evening and his body cooled off
moderately, but the throbbing in the temples persisted.
On the fifteenth and sixteenth day he had barley broth.
And on the seventeenth pain in the same places came on
again towards night, and delirious talk and the flow of pus.
On the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth, delirium.
He cried out if he tried to raise himself, and could not con-
trol his head; he reached out with his hands continually,
looking for something in the empty air. On the twenty-
first day, sweating about the right side of the ribs and the
chest and head. On the twenty-second there was much
sweat about the face. With his voice in this period, if he
was very forceful he succeeded in saying what he wished,

but if he was casual, it was imperfect. His mouth was slack,
the jaws and lips always moving as though he wanted to say
something; and there was was much moving of the eyes
and glancing about, and color at the right eye such as we
call bloodshot; and the upper eyelid swelled, and there
was redness in the cheek as he was approaching the end,
and all the blood vessels in his forehead were obvious, so
great was their distress. He no longer closed his eyes, but
he had a fixed stare, raising his eyelids upward as when
something falls into the eye. And when he drank there
was a gurgling as it went into the chest and the intestine,
like that in the case of Chartades. The breathing was prop-
erly moderate throughout. The tongue yellowish-white
like that of those with pneumonia. The headache was
there throughout from the beginning, the neck immovable
throughout. He had to turn it about with his head. The
spine at the base of the neck was straight and unbending.
He lay as described, not always on his back. The pus was
serous to the view, white, copious, hard to sponge up, its
smell overwhelming. In the last period he could hardly
perceive a touch on his feet.

6. Harpalides’ sister, pregnant four or five months, had
swellings about the feet which became watery. The circles
of her eyes swelled, and her whole skin was puffed as it is

breathing trouble and choking from time to time that she
stayed sitting in her bed. She could not lie prone, but if
she ever decided to sleep, it was while she was sitting up.
She was virtually without sensation, and the fetus was
immobile for a long time, as though it had died. She
underwent a change, and the breathing trouble persisted
for almost two months, but she took beans with honey and
a honey linctus and drank Ethiopian cumin in wine, and it
grew easier. Following that she coughed and brought
up much concocted, phlegmatic white matter, and the
breathing improved. She bore a female child.

7. Polycrates’ wife, in summer near the Dogstar, had
fever. Her breathing in the morning was less; after the
mid-part of the day, her breathing was greater, slightly
more rapid. A productive cough right from the beginning,
as in people with purulence. Inside, by the pharynx and
trachea, a hoarse whistling. Face of good color, redness on
the cheeks, not intense but properly fresh. As time
passed, the voice hoarse, and wasting of the body, erup-
tions on the lower back, bowels loose towards the final
period. On the seventieth day the external fever much
cooler, and quietness at the temples. But the breathing
grew more rapid, and after this respite the breathing was
so rapid that she had to remain sitting. And so she died.

In her trachea there was much noise, and there were
unfavorable sweats. And very alert looks until the final
moments. She passed more than five days without fever.
She kept coughing up pus after the first days.

8. The woman who lived over the gate, already rather
old, got a fever and, after it had abated, a pain in the spine
from the neck to the lower back. She had not much
strength there. Her jaws were clenched and the teeth
could not relax themselves more than the width of a probe.
Her speech was unintelligible because her body was
paralyzed, immovable and weak. But she retained her rea-
son. With fomentations and warm hydromel she relaxed
on about the third day and afterwards became healthy
with barley gruel and soup. This occurred at the end of
autumn.

9. The masseur at the house of Harpalides, having
grown rather weak in arms and legs towards autumn,
drank at that time a drug that purged upward and down-
ward. After the purge, fever. There flowed into the tra-
chea such material as to stop his speech and cause him to
choke when talking, like one whose throat is sore with
quinsy. He gagged when he was drinking, and had other
symptoms of quinsy, but there was no swelling. The fever
grew intense, and the cough, and there was bringing up of
much watery phlegm. As time went on there was pain in
the chest and left breast. Whenever he stood up or moved
he had much breathing difficulty and sweat on the fore-
head and head. Symptoms in the pharynx persisted, but
more gently as the pain moved down to the chest. From

the outset he ate warm honeyed beans. But when the
fever came on he took instead oxymel, warm, and much
honey as a linctus. When fourteen days had passed all
symptoms ceased, and shortly later he regained his
strength in arms and legs.

10. When Chartades had burning fever he vomited
much bile and passed much in stools. He was sleepless.
He had a round swelling by the spleen. On the ninth
morning early, he got up with noise in his intestines,
without pain. But as he sat at stool there came forth more
than a choeus® of fresh blood, and after he waited a brief
time a third of a choeus; and there were blood clots. He
had distress in the area of the heart and sweat over virtu-
ally the whole body. The fever seemed to cool. At first he
was rational, but as the day went on the distress increased,
there was delirium and slightly more rapid breathing. He
spoke more aggressively and greeted people more warmly
than the occasion warranted; he appeared to have lapses of
consciousness. When people offered broth and barley
water there was no improvement. Towards evening his
breathing was very heavy and there was much tossing
about. He threw himself from the right side to the left and
back again, and was not able to hold still for any time. His
feet grew cold, there was heat more at the temples and the
head as the end was imminent. Bad sweats. When he

drank, signs of noise in the chest and intestines as the
drink went down. All signs were bad. He said he wanted
something under him, stared fixedly, resisted a brief time,
and died.

11. The wife of Hermoptolemus, in the winter, had
fever and headache. Whenever she drank she sat upright
because of difficulty swallowing. She said that her heart
had been damaged. Tongue livid from the outset. The
cause seemed to be a chill after a bath. She was sleepless,
night and day. After the first days, when asked, she no
longer said that her head hurt, but that her whole body
hurt. Thirst, sometimes insatiable, sometimes moderate.
On the fifth and sixth days and up to the ninth, almost con-
stantly delirious. Later, she babbled to herself half-
intelligible things in the midst of coma. She would reach
out with her hand from time to time towards the plaster
wall, and to the cold pack on her head. She would put her
hands on her chest and sometimes throw off the cover.
There was a bloodshot area in her right eye and a tendency
to weep. The urine of the sort that is always bad in chil-
dren. The stool from the outset yellowish, later very
watery and the same color. On the eleventh day the heat
seemed more moderate, and she was without thirst some-
times to the extent that if one did not give something to
her she did not ask. Sleep, after the initial period, was
generally in the day, but towards night she was sleepless

and towards night her suffering was worse. On the ninth
day her intestines were upset, passing watery excrement,
and on the tenth. Through the subsequent days the move-
ments were generally frequent and similar. She had
bursts of temper in the previous days, and childish weep-
ing, crying out, frights, and glancing about, whenever she
roused from coma. On the fourteenth day it was a task to
restrain her as she leaped up and shouted suddenly and
intensely, as though from a blow or a dreadful pain or
fright, whenever anyone took hold of her and held her
down briefly. Then again she lapsed into coma and was
silent and persisted in drowsiness, seeing nothing, and
sometimes not hearing. And she alternated often between
uproar and quiet virtually that whole day. Towards the fol-
lowing night she passed a bloody movement, like mucus,
and again muddy, and later very greenish and dark. On
the fifteenth day sharp tossing about. The frights and the
shouts became gentle, but she persisted in her wildness,
her anger and tantrums if what she wanted was not done
for her quickly. She recognized everyone and all objects
straightway after the first days. The eye condition settled
down. But the mania, inappropriate behavior, crying out,
and the alternations I described, persisted until the coma.
She heard irregularly: some things very clearly, even if one
said them quietly, but for some it was necessary to talk
louder. Her feet were throughout as warm as the rest of

her body until the final days, but on the sixteenth day less
so. On the seventeenth day she was more comfortable
than on the other days, but towards night she drew herself
together as though a chill was coming on, and her fever
increased. There was much thirst. Everything else con-
tinued the same. But trembling developed in her hands
and she kept tossing her head. The area under her eyes,
and the looks of her eyes were bad. Her thirst was power-
ful. When she had drunk she would ask for more, snatch it
and drink violently. They could not take it away from her.
Her tongue was dry. quite red, and her whole ‘mouth and
lips ulcerated, parched. She kept moving both hands to
her mouth and chewing them, trembling, and if anyone
gave her something to chew or sip, she drank and sipped it
violently, madly. The area around her eyes was bad. On
the three or four days before the end shivers came on her
at times so that she would draw her body together, cover
up, and breathe hard. Cramps in the legs, cold feet. The
thirst as before, and mental affection similar. Bowel
movements either nothing or small and thin with brief
straining. On the last day, the twenty-third, her eye was
large in the moming and her vision short. She was quiet at
times, without huddling under covers or coma. Towards
evening there was movement of the right eye, as though
seeing or seeking something, from the outer corner
towards the nose. She showed recognition and answered

About day twelve he spat up greenish-yellow matter. His
breathing, as the illness progressed, was ever more rapid;
there was rattling in the chest and trachea. He took gruel.
He was conscious the whole time. He died about the

had spasms, was voiceless: there was wheezing, clenching
of teeth, increased redness of the cheeks; she died. On
the fifth or sixth day, a sign: lividness around the hand.*

19. Bion, after a long hydropic illness, could not eat for
many days, and had strangury. An abscess appeared on his
left knee; it festered. He died.

20. Ctesiphon was hydropic after a lengthy burning
fever, having also been previously hydropic and having
had spleen problems. He was quite filled up in the scro-
tum, legs and peritoneum. At the end, coughing and
choking occurred, more towards night, from the lungs, as
in pneumoniacs. In the three or four days before the end,
shivering, fever. On the right thigh, inside along the cen-
tral vein from the groin, there was a livid gathering, as of a
fierce fire, containing a redness. Towards night, pain at the
heart, and not much later voicelessness, choking and
wheezing. And he died.

21. And the hydropic man at Olynthus. cy
voiceless. Delirious a night and a day. He died.»

22. The wife of Prodromus, in summer, was lisping,
had burming fever. Tongue dry, unintelligible. Much
excrement from bowels. She survived.

23. Leophorbides had acute fever after the winter sol-
stice, pain in the hypochondria and in the intestines.
Watery, large, bilious movements. Even in the daytime,
comatose. Tongue peripneumonic. There was no cough.
On the twelfth day he passed small dark green bowel
movements. On the fourteenth day the fever seemed to
relent, and afterwards he had gruel. On the sixteenth day
his mouth became very salty and dry. In the evening
shivering, fever. On the twenty-first in the middle of the
day, chill and sweat. The fever relented but there was
moderate heat. At night again sweat. And on the twenty-
second day towards night, sweat. And the heat abated.
On all previous days he was without sweat, but the bowels
were moist, even at what seemed in retrospect the relapse.

24. The woman who lived above, the relative of Theo-
cles, acute fever towards the setting of the Pleiades. On
the sixth day it seemed to abate. She bathed as though she
was cured. Early on the seventh day her cheek was sud-
denly red, I don’t recall which. Towards the ev ening the
fever came on severely, and fainting, and she was voice-
less. Not much later, sweat, and cessation of the sickness
on the seventh day.

25. The wife of Theodorus, greatly in fever, hemor-
rhage having occurred, in winter. The fever abated the
second day; shortly afterwards she had heaviness of the
right side, as from the womb. This was the first time it had

happened. On succeeding days the pain in the chest was
terrible. With fomentations on the right side she
improved. On the fourth day, the pains; the breathing
quicker. Her trachea whistled as she breathed with
difficulty. She lay on her back; difficulty turning over.
Towards night the fever grew more acute. There was,
briefly, delirious talk. Early on the fifth day the fever
seemed more mild. Sweat poured from her forehead,
briefly at first, then for a long period over her whole body
and feet. After this she thought the burning had grown
less, and her body was cooler to the touch, but the vessels
at the temples jumped more, her breath was more rapid,
she talked deliriously from time to time, and all signs
changed for the worse. Throughout, the tongue was
extremely white; there was no cough except on the third
and fifth day for a short time. There was no thirst, but
expectoration. The right hypochondrium was much swol-
len on the fifth day but afterwards softer. Some solid
excrement on the third day after a suppository. On the
fifth again, a little liquid. The belly soft. Urine astringent,
like fig juice. The eyes as of one who is weary. She had
difficulty seeing things and looking about. On the fifth day
towards night, difficulty and delirious talk. On the sixth,
again, at the same hour, that of the filling of the market-
place, much sweat poured from her. It went from the
forehead to the whole body for a long time. She con-
ducted herself rationally. Towards midday, however, she

talked very deliriously, the chilling was similar but she had
greater heaviness all over the body. Towards evening her
lower leg slipped out of bed, she threatened her child irra-
tionally and again fell silent, changed into quiescence.
About the first sleep, thirst. Much delirium: she sat up
and rebuked those who were there. Again she fell silent
and remained quiescent. She seemed to be in a coma the
rest of the night. She did not close her eyes. Towards day
she answered mostly with nods, her body unmoving, rea-
sonably alert. Again the sweat at the same hour. The eyes
similarly downcast, leaning more on the lower lid, staring,
torpid, the whites of the eyes yellowish and corpselike.
Her whole color yellowish and dark. Mostly reaching with
her hand towards the wall or the bedclothes. The gurgling
occurred when she drank, and she spurted it out and
brought it up through her nose. She plucked at the blank-
ets, and kept her face covered up. After the sweats her
hands were like ice. Cold sweat persisted. Body cold to
the touch. She jumped up, cried out, raved. Breathing
very rapid. She developed trembling in the hands. At the
point of death she twitched. She died on the seventh day.
She urinated a little in her bed on the sixth day in the
night. The urine was picked up on a twig, sticky, like
semen. Sleepless all nights. After the sixth day bloody

urine.

26. Antiphanes’ son, in the winter, had pain in the right
side, cough, fever. He kept eating, went outdoors with a
slight fever. He seemed to have some fissuring. On the
ninth day the fever came on and did not again leave him.
The cough extensive; thick, foamy matter. Pains in the
thorax. On the fourteenth and again on the twentieth day
the fever appeared to be stopping, and again seized him,
but it was a mild heat and ceased for a brief time. The
cough sometimes left him, sometimes was overwhelming
with much choking, but at that time (day twenty) it dimin-
ished. Afterwards much material was brought up with a
choking cough, purulent matter seething and foaming
over the basin. In his pharynx there was generally a hoarse
whistling. Asthma possessed him continuously, and quite
rapid breathing; occasionally he breathed easily. After the
fortieth day, approaching the sixtieth, I think, his left eye
went blind with a swelling and without pain. Not much
later, the right also. The pupils became very white and dry.
He died after the blindness, not much beyond seven days,
with wheezing and delirium.

27. Thessalion had similar phenomena in the same
season, starting from similar symptoms; he had the seeth-
ing, foaming, and purulent matter, the cough and the
hoarse whistling.

28. Polemarchus’ wife had quinsy in the winter, swel-
ling by the windpipe, much fever. A vein was opened.
The choking in her pharynx was relieved, the fever per-
sisted. About the fifth day, pain and swelling in the left
knee. She said she felt as though there was a gathering
around her heart; she breathed as though she was catching
her breath after being submerged. She made a noise from
her chest. It was something like that which so-called ven-
triloquists make. Towards the eighth or ninth day her
intestines broke loose towards night: much wet, gushing,
foul-smelling excrement. Voicelessness possessed her.
She died.

29. Aristippus was struck a powerful blow by an arrow
in the upper belly. Terrible pain in the intestine. It was
quickly inflamed, but no excrement passed below. He was
nauseous. He vomited very bilious matter; whenever he
vomited he seemed easier, but shortly later the pains were
again terrible. And the intestine became inflamed as in
intestinal obstructions. Fever, thirst. He died in seven
days.

30. Neopolis, wounded similarly, had the same affec-
tions. But with an acrid clyster his bowel broke loose. A
light color was diffused over him, yellow and black. His
eyes were dry, stuprous, rolling inwards, staring.

31. The man struck near the liver with a javelin:
immediately he was suffused with a corpselike color. His
eyes were hollow; tossing about; distress; he died before
the marketplace closed, having been wounded at day-
break.#@

32. The Macedonian. The man struck in the head with
a stone thrown by the Macedonian: he was struck above
the left temple, a superficial wound. When hit he blacked
out and fell. On the third day he was voiceless. Tossing
about. Fever, not very intense. Throbbing in temples as
of moderate heat. He heard nothing, nor was conscious,
nor was he still. Moisture around the forehead and
beneath the nose to the chin. He died on the fifth day.>

33. The man from Aenus, wounded at Delos, by a jave-
lin in the upper back on the left. The wound was painless,
but on the third day he had a small pain in the belly. He
had no bowel movements, but when he had a clyster there
were solid feces towards night, and the pain departed. In
the seat, and outwards towards the testicles on the fourth
day and into the pubis and whole intestinal cavity, there
was terrible pain which came like a thunderclap. He could
not keep still. He vomited very bilious matter. The eyes
were greenish-yellow, like those of people who have
fainted. He died after the fifth day. He had a slight fever.°

34. Audellus, struck in the back. Much wind escaped
from the wound noisily, and he hemorrhaged. Bandaged
with drugs for stopping blood, he recovered. The same
happened to Dyschytas.4

35. The child of Philia, whose skull was laid bare on his
forehead, had fever on the ninth day. The bone became
livid. The child died. Also the children of Phanias and
Euergus: when their bones became livid and they became
feverish, the skin stood away from the bone and pus gath-
ered below. When they were trephined a thin serum
came out of the bone itself, like fig juice, slightly yellow,
foul-smelling, deathly. And it occurs in such cases that
there are vomiting and convulsions at the end, and some
cry shrilly; some are paralyzed: if the wound is on the right
side paralysis on the left, if on the left, the right. Theo-
dorus’ child, having been exposed to the sun on the ninth
day, got an insignificant fever on the tenth day from the
exposed bone. But in the fever it turned black, the skin
fell away. Much shrill crying. On the twenty-second day
the child’s belly swelled up, especially at the hypochon-
dria. On the twenty-third death. Those whose bones are
broken have fever on the seventh day. If the weather is
warm, even earlier. The more the bones are shattered the
quicker it comes. Exarmodus’ young slave had it immedi-
ately, and the pain in the thigh, not on the side of the
wound, and he cried shrilly, and had pain in the neck.
Poseidocreon had convulsions on the third day. The fever
did not leave him; he died on the eighteenth day.
Isagoras’ son was struck behind the head, the bone was
shattered and grew black on the fifth day. He survived,
and the bone did not come away.*

36. The commander of the large ship, whose right
forefinger and its bone the anchor crushed: inflammation
developed, gangrene, and fever. He was purged mod-
erately on the fifth day. The fever relaxed and the pain;
part of the finger fell away. After the seventh day a fair
amount of serum ran out. After that he said that he could
not articulate everything with his tongue. The prediction:
opisthotonos.* His jaws became fixed together, then it
went to the neck, on the third day he was entirely con-
vulsed backward, with sweating. On the sixth day after the
prediction he died.

37. Telephanes, son of Harpalus’ freedwoman, re-
ceived a blow at the base of the thumb. It became
inflamed and was extremely painful, and when it desisted
he went into the fields. He had pain in the lower back. He
bathed. His jaws were drawn together towards night and
opisthotonos was present. His saliva was frothy; it passed
out through the teeth with difficulty. He died on the third
day.

38. Rhinon, Damon’s son, had a wound in the tendon
at the lower leg and the ankle; it had already become
clean. But, eroded by a drug, he died from opisthotonos.»

39. Deinon, towards the rising of Arcturus, having pre-
viously been weakly disposed because of summer fever
and diarrhea, was fatigued from a journey and got a pain in
his left thorax. And the cough, which he had had earlier
from ἃ catarrh, became at that time severe. He was sleep-
less and bore the fever badly from the beginning. And sit-
ting up on the third day he spat up yellowish matter. His
trachea whistled and wheezed. About the fifth day,
breathing somewhat rapid. His feet and calves, most of his
extremities, were cold and outside the covers. The excre-
ment was bilious from the beginning, not excessively little,
not a lot. On the seventh, eighth, and ninth days he
seemed to be better and had some sleep: the material
coughed up was more ripened. On the tenth day and up
to the thirteenth it was quite white and clean. And his
hypochondrium became softer; left side tight. He
breathed more easily. A suppository produced a moderate
movement. On the thirteenth day he again spat up yellow-
ish matter, more on the fourteenth, and on the fifteenth
leek-colored matter. Bowels produced large, foul-
smelling, bilious, damp movements. His left hypochon-
drium became elevated, and on the sixteenth day was very
swollen. By now his breath was wheezing. Sweat about
forehead and neck, sometimes on to the chest. Extremi-
ties and forehead stayed rather cold. There was persistent
leaping of the blood-vessels in the temples. Sleep was
comatose night and day in the last period. The urine from

thirteenth day thin and not colorless, but after the thir-
teenth as from the beginning.

40. Cleochus had pain in the thorax. The fever remit-
ted. He sweated over the whole body. In the urine there
were many particles suspended; later it was turbid.

41. After the setting of the Pleiades an acute fever
seized Olympiades’ wife after a fall in her eighth month of
pregnancy. Her tongue was burnt, dry, rough, pale yellow-
ish. Her eyes were yellowish and her skin corpselike. She
aborted on the fifth day. The abortion was easy, and her
sleep, as it appeared, was comatose. When they tried to
rouse her in the evening she did not notice; after a sternu-
tatory she could hear. She took a drink and some broth;
she coughed while drinking the drink. Her voice was not
released, nor did she bring up anything. Her eyes were
dim. Breath shallow, drawn through the nose. Color bad.
Sweat about the feet and legs as she was dying.

42. Nicolaus’ wife, as a result of a burning fever,
developed swellings by both ears, one shortly after the
other, when it seemed that the fever was already stopping,
I believe about the fourteenth day. They remained large,
without signs. She relapsed. Color corpselike, tongue
rough, very fuzzy, whitish; thirsty. Bowel movements
numerous, wet, foul-smelling the whole time. Her body
was wasted in its bulk before the end. She died after the
twentieth day.

43. Before the rising of the Pleiades, Andreas had
shivering, fever, vomiting. From the outset it looked like a
semitertian. On the third day he again had a fit of shiver-
ing in the marketplace. Acute fever. Vomitus of pure bile.
Delirious towards night; easy again. On the fifth day, bad.
On the sixth, a good bowel movement from linozostis. On
the seventh, worse. On the following days it became more
continuous, and was without sweat from the beginning,
and accompanied by thirst. Especially his mouth was
parched and there was no drink he could take with pleas-
ure because of the great discomfort of the mouth. The
tongue was dry, inarticulate. A yellow-white hardness
bloomed on it. He was sleepless, nauseous, uncoordi-
nated, helpless. The tongue, from dryness, sometimes
lisped until he wetted it. He took barley broth for the
most part. On the ninth or tenth day there were small
swellings by the left ear and then beside the other one.
They disappeared without a trace. Throughout, the urine
was not of bad color but without sediment. On the four-
teenth day, sweat around the upper parts. The fever con-
tinued not much moderated: it went down on the seven-
teenth day. Bowel dry after the tenth day, passing nothing
without a suppository. About the twenty-fifth day, an
eruption appeared, almost itching, hot, like burns. There
was pain around the armpits and the thorax. It went down
into the legs without signs, and ceased. Bathing helped,
and ointment made with vinegar. In the second month,
perhaps, or the third, the pain went to the kidneys, having
appeared there sometime before. He recovered.

44. Aristocrates, around the winter solstice, had
fatigue, shivering and fever. Later, on the third day, a pain
developed in his ribs and lower back, and a swelling, com-
mencing from the armpit, down the whole right side; it
was hard. On the ribs themselves, starting from the
armpit, it was red and livid as though scalded and burned
by fire. He was nauseous, uncomfortable, very thirsty, his
tongue whitish; no urine passed; legs chilly. A bowel
movement from linozostis, small, wet, whitish, foamy.
Towards night his breathing became shallow; sweat on the
forehead: lower limbs cold. Nauseous. Neck inflated.
There was no cough. He died while conscious.

45. Mnesianax had eye trouble towards fall. Later,
quartan fever. When he began his quartan he was without
appetite, but as it progressed he enjoyed food. (Poly-
chares, in a quartan, had similar responses to meals.) It
occurred with Mnesianax that before the fever and for a
long time afterwards his bowel movements continued to
be of much white, mucous matter, and sometimes there
was a little blood without stretching and pain. And noise in
the belly. After the fever there rose by his anus a hard
swelling. It persisted unripened a long time, broke
through into the gut, and came outward as a fistula. As he
was walking about in the marketplace there were sparks
before his eyes and he did not see the sunlight well. He

withdrew a short distance. He was beside himself, and
began to have spasms in the neck. When he was taken
home he could hardly see and had difficulty coming to
himself. At first he peered around at the by standers and
his body was cold, and was warmed only with difficulty,

with bags of hot water and with steam beneath his bed.

When he had come to himself and stood up he did not
want to go out, but said he was afraid. And if anyone spoke
of severe illnesses he would withdraw in fright. Some-
times he said heat fell on his hypochondria and that the
sparks before his eyes continued. Bowel movements large
and frequent, and they were like those of winter. Phlebo-
tomy; hellebore. Drinking cow's milk, but earlier, ass’s,

helped, and stopped the bowel movements. Drinking of
water from the beginning and walks, along with purges of
the head.

46. Anechetus’ son had these symptoms: in winter, in
the bath, he was heated by the fire as he was being rubbed
with oil. Suddenly he had epileptic convulsions. When the
convulsions stopped he gazed about; he was not with him-
self. And when he came to himself he was again seized on
the next day in the morning. Convulsions, some foam. On
the third day inarticulate. On the fourth day he gave a sign
with his tongue, fell, was unable to speak, but hung up on

the beginnings of words. On the fifth day, tongue severely
affected: the convulsion came on and he was beside him-
self. When these things ceased, his tongue with difficulty
returned to its own condition. On the sixth day, as he
abstained from everything, both gruel and drink, there
were no further seizures.

47. Cleochus, after exercise and fatigue, and after hav-
ing used honey for some days, had a swelling on the right
knee, especially below it on the tendons under the knee.
He walked about lamed. His calf swelled up. It was hard,
clear down to the foot and the right ankle. On the gums by
the teeth developed large grapelike swellings, livid, black-
ish, painless except when he was eating, as were the legs if
he did not stand up, for the swelling had gone to his left
side too, though less. There was a smoothness in the swel-
ling about the knees and feet, like that of a black eye.
Finally he was not able to stand or to put weight on his
heels, but was confined to bed. Fever sometimes evident.
No appetite, very little thirst. He did not get up for the
toilet, was nauseous, and periodically had faintness. Hel-
lebore, purging of the head. Manna in a mixture was of
benefit for his mouth. For the ulcers on the mouth lentil
soup as a porridge was a help. About the sixtieth day, the
swellings went down only because of the second helle-
bore. Pains came on his knees as he was lying down, and
water and bile settled on the knees even for many days

before the hellebore.

48. Peisistratus had pain in the shoulder and heaviness
for a long time, though he walked about and was otherwise
healthy. In the winter there came on much pain in the
thorax, fever, cough, coughing up of frothy blood. And
with this there was wheezing in the pharynx. But he was
generally sound and rational. The fever receded, and with
it the expectoration and the hoarseness. On the fourth or
fifth day he was healthy.

49. The wife of Simus, shaken in childbirth, had a pain
in the chest and ribs. Cough, fever, bringing up of some-
what purulent matter. She went into consumption and for
six months had fever and constant diarrhea. At the end,
cessation of fever. Her bowels stabilized after the cessa-
tion. After seven days she died.#

50. Also Euxenes’ wife. It seemed to come after a
steam bath. The fever did not depart for any period, but
intensified more towards evening. Sweat occurred over
her whole body. When the fever was going to intensify,
her feet were cold, and sometimes her calves and knees.
Dry cough for a short time as the fever was beginning to
intensify, then it stopped and for a long time there was
shivering of her whole body. No thirst throughout. She
drank a purgative drug and whey and was further harmed.
From the beginning she was without all pain and breathed
easily. About the middle of the time, pain developed in

small expectorations, white, thinnish. And the shivering,
no longer from the feet but from the neck and back.
Bowels rather watery. The fever ceased with much sweat,
and she grew chilled. The asthma was variegated. She
died conscious on the seventh day after the withdrawal of
fever.

51. Also Polemarchus’ wife, in summer, started to be
feverish. It left her on the tenth day. But afterwards she
relapsed. Fever towards night. Again the fever left and
then seized her and did not leave her for nearly three
months. Much coughing, bringing up of phlegm. When
she came to about twenty days her breathing became con-
tinuously rapid. There were noises in her chest. She was
sweaty for the most part. The fever was milder early in the
day, and shivering sometimes seized her. She slept. Her
bowels were watery sometimes and again stabilized. She
had a fairly good appetite. But in the middle of the time
she developed pain in the knees and lower legs, and it was
necessary for someone else to bend and extend them. The
symptoms in the legs persisted to the end, and that was at
hand. Her feet swelled up as far as the calves, and were
painful when touched. The sweats and the shivering
abated, but the fever continually intensified. And before
the end the bowel broke loose. She remained conscious.
Three days before, she had wheezing in the pharynx, and
again that stopped.

52. The infant son of Hegesipolis had, for nearly four
months, a gnawing pain by the navel. As time passed, the
pain intensified, he beat on his belly, plucked at it. Fever
seized him. He wasted away. The bones were seized. His
feet swelled; testicles. The parts of the belly around the
navel formed a loose-textured stalk of material that was
going to make a disturbance in the bowel.* He did not
want food. He would take milk. The end was near. The
bowel became watery, and bloody serous matter came out,
foul-smelling. The intestine was inflamed. He died after
vomiting a small short phlegmy object that seemed like
the embryo of the flatworm. On his death the suture of his
skull became very hollow. While he was sick he kept
drawing down with the hand from the front of his head,
especially as the end was imminent, but he had no pain in
the head. And on the left thigh underneath the lower
gland, a livid area. The testicles lost their swelling, perhaps
on the previous day. Similar symptoms occurred for the
child of Hegetorides, which died. Except that more vom-
iting occurred towards the end.

53. The sister of Hippias, in the winter, was phrenitic;
regimen bad; very busy with her hands, lacerating herself
on the fifth day. On the sixth day, towards night, speech-
less, comatose, puffing into her jaws and lips like sleeping
people. She died towards the seventh day.

4 The grammar and meaning here are not very clear, but the

comparison seems to be drawn between the swelling of the area of

navel and the growth of a garlic stalk which “puffs” as it grows.

54. Asandrus had been shivering; pain in thorax, pain-
fulness into knees and thighs. He ate, became delirious,
died swiftly.

55. For Cleotimus’ shoemaker, after his bowels had
been watery for a long time and a fever had come on, a
tumorous swelling developed by the liver and descended
to the lower abdomen. The bowels were watery. Another
tumor developed above the liver towards the hypochon-
drium. He died.

56. People who have dreadful pain in the head with
fever: if they have it in half the head, and their nose
exudes something watery, or thin, or concocted, or if it
comes to the ears or into the pharynx from the head, there
is less danger. But when these things are dry, and the
lesions are frightful, there is much danger. And if nausea
be present, or bilious vomiting, or fixity of the eyes, or
voicelessness and infrequent speech, or delirious. talk:
these signs are fatal and convulsive. Those who suffer from
flux in half their head, and develop fever while there is a
watery discharge by the nose, generally lose the fever on
the fifth or sixth day.*

57. Echecrates, who was blind, had a dreadful pain in
the head, more to the back and in the neck at the top of
the spine, and it reached to the crown of the head and as
time passed also to the left ear. Half his head was painful.
There was continuous mucous discharge, rather burnt. A
light fever persisted, and he did not want food. In the day-
time he was easier, but he had pain towards night. When

the pus broke out by the ear all symptoms abated. It broke
out towards winter. Is it true that in all suppurations,
including those around the eye, the distress comes
towards night?#

58. Those who have coughs in winter, especially in
south winds, and who cough up much thick matter,
develop fevers, but the fevers generally cease on the fifth
day, while the coughs last until around the fortieth day, as
with Hegesipolis. If people have light fevers of the sort
that stop periodically, when they have sweats that are not
over the whole of the body but either about the neck and
down to the armpits or about the head, they are
recovering.

59. Chares, in winter. After an epidemic cough an
acute fever adding to the cough seized him. He kept
throwing off the bedcovers. Coma with distress
developed. Urine red, like the water that vetch seeds have
soaked in. There was much white sediment immediately
from the beginning, later reddish. On the seventh day,
from a suppository, a small movement. The coma per-
sisted, without pain. Moisture on the forehead. Sleep
towards night and more gentle fever. On the eighth day
he took broth. He stayed comatose until the eleventh day.
On that day the fever, too, abated for the most part. But
the cough was there; much matter continued to be
brought up, easily, sticky at first, white, thick, and, when it

was concocted, like purulent discharges. Urine from the
eleventh day clearer, the deposit coarse. On the thir-
teenth day, pain on the right side and stretching to the
flank, towards the lower belly. The urine was retained.
The drink made from kalliphyllon helped. On_ the
fifteenth day, again the pain. On the sixteenth, more
towards night, the pain of the hypochondrium proceeded
towards the lower belly. Water of linozostis produced a
bowel movement. The fever was relieved before the twen-
tieth day, and the expectorations continued thick, easily
produced, to the fortieth day.

60. In diseases purge the intestines when the diseases
are ripe (concocted), or in their fifth day; the lower intes-
tines, when you see the diseases are settled. Indication: if
the patients are not nauseous or heavy-headed, and when
the fever is mildest, and when it abates after the exacerba-
tions. Purge the upper intestines during the exacerba-
tions, because the intestines are then elevated when
patients are nauseous and heavy in the upper parts. But
here is the reason not to purge at the beginning: because
chronic illness is automatically a danger in this period.*

elbow: his forearm grew purulent from mortification. But
when it ripened a sticky, gluey serum was expressed. It

quickly stopped, as it did also for Cleogeniscus and for
Demarchus, son of Aglaoteles. Similarly, it happens that
there is no pus in very much the same condition, as was
the case with Aeschylus’ son. But where there is puru-
lence, most develop shivering and fever.*

62. Aleman was recovering from nephritic affections
and, when blood was removed below, the disease was
diverted up along the liver and towards the heart. The
pain was terrible and his breathing was checked by the
suffering. And the bowels, with difficulty, produced small
pellets. There was no nausea, but shivering at times and
fever seized him, and sweat and vomiting. And in the
midst of the pain it did not help to give seawater clysters;
there was help from bran-husk clysters. He abstained
from food for seven days, drank melicrat in a strong mix-
ture. Afterwards bean broth and sometimes thin pea soup;
he drank water; later some boiled young dog, and a little
barley cake which had been made as long before as possi-
ble. As time went on either beef neck-meat or pork leg-
bones, boiled. The previous day, drinking water, quiet,
keeping covered. For the nephritic condition, a clyster of
wild cucumber.

63. Parmeniscus’ child was afflicted with deafness.
Not to wash it (the ear?) out was helpful, but to clean it
with wool, and only to pour in olive oil or bitter almond oil.

Walking about, rising early, drinking white wine, refrain-
ing from garden vegetables. Bread and rock fishes to eat. b

64. Aspasius’ wife had a dreadful pain of the tooth and
jaw. She got relief by washing it with castorium and
pepper, and holding the solution in her mouth. And she
relieved her strangury. Barley meal with rose oil added
heat. Castorium stops headaches from the womb. Most of
the hysteric* affections: intestinal gas. An indication is
belching and noise in the belly, swelling of the back, pains
about the kidney and loins. Give also newly fermented
sweet red wine, or a third part of aromatic herbs, two of
fine meal: boil in fragrant white wine: pour it on a cloth,
and after rubbing her with oil, apply the cloth as a poultice
to treat her belly’s hysteric pains»

65. For Callimedon’s son what also helped for the
swelling on the neck, which was hard, large, unripe and
painful, was opening the vein of the arm, putting on a plas-
ter of saturated linen: wetting it in white wine and oil and
binding it on, not hot or too much boiled. Or with meli-
crat boil meal of fenugreek, or barley, or wheat.°

66. For Melisander, when his gum was troublesome,
painful and very swollen: opening the vein of the arm,
Egyptian alum, for reducing it at its height.¢

4 Hysteric probably means simply “uterine” in this passage,
without the implications of the wandering womb.

67. Eutychides, after biliousness, had cramping of the
legs. He got better at the same time as the purgation
through the bowel. He vomited much pure bile for three
days and nights, extremely reddish. He took the drink for
vomiting, and was weak and nauseated; he could hold
nothing down, even the extract of pomegranate rind. The
urine was stopped as well as the bowels. Because of the
vomitings soft “wine lees” came out, and his bowels broke
loose.@

67b. Hydropics should exercise, sweat, eat bread,
drink little: wash around the head with much water, not
hot but lukewarm. White wine. Use not too much sleep.?

68. Calligenes, when he was about twenty-five years,
had a flow from the head. Much coughing brought up
violently the matter that had flowed down. Nothing
through the bowels. It persisted for four years. There
were light fevers at the beginning. Hellebore did not help,
but reducing food, yet fattening him. Eating bread.
Wine, red. Meats, whichever he wanted. Refraining from
acrid, salt, fat, juice of silphium, raw vegetables. Many
walks. Drinking milk was of no benefit, but drinking, with
mild wine, pure raw sesame, about one tenth of a pint.

exertion, pour over a mixture of sea water, vinegar, hot

78. Onisantides, in the summer, had the pain of the
shoulder which comes from an apostasis. Soaking his body
and his shoulder in the sea for as long as possible for three
days; at the same time drinking watery white wine while
lying i in the sea, and urinating in the sea.

79. The fuller on Syros who was phrenitic: trembling,
with burning fever. The color of his legs like that of gnat
bites. Eye large, very little movement. Voice broken but
intelligible. Urine clear, having no sediment. Was it
because of the bowel movement from thapsia? On the
eighteenth day the fever ceased, having come down
without sweat.

80. The man in Olynthus, Nicoxenus, fared similarly.
On the seventh day his fever seemed to slacken with
sweat. He was given porridge, wine, raisins dried in the
sun. Towards the seventeenth day I visited him. He had
burning fever: his tongue was of that kind. The fever out-
side was not very strong. Dreadful disorganization of
body; voice broken, a task to hear it, but intelligible; tem-
ples collapsed; eyes hollow; feet soft and warm. Tightness
at the spleen. He would not take much enema, but it

clear, bright. He lay on his back, legs spread out because
of disorientation, totally sleepless. Before the twentieth
day the fever came down from the drink made from coarse
barley meal, sometimes from apple and pomegranate juice
and juice from toasted lentils, cold. Boiled water from
soaking wheat meal, cold. Light porridge. He survived.

even in the groin; at the neck, similar large swellings.
Fever. Ten days previously, coughing caused by fissures.
In the third or fourth month the bowels liquified, fevers

attended by shivering. These sometimes become of ill
habit and are established as acute diseases. Beware.
Especially do the fifth day and the seventh and ninth give
indication, but it is better to keep watch up to the four-
teenth day.*

83. Cydes, after the winter solstice, had in the night a
pain in his right thorax, which had been common before.
It went away. He ate a meal. When he went out he had
shivering. Fever towards night, without pain. A little
cough produced some dry flux. Not much urine, much
sediment, pulpy, dispersed particles from the beginning,
and after the fourth day it became turbid, the urine itself
not of bad color, having suspended matter, and the deposit
did not appear in the pan when the urine was cold. On the
third day the bowel moved spontaneously. On the fourth
in response to a suppository, a solid and bilious movement.
Liquid flowed around it. Sleep towards nights, not much,
but he had some sleep during the day. Thirst, not severe,
on the fourth day, especially towards night. Skin about the
forehead, otherwise soft, kept forming ridges. The fever
was powerful to the hand. It became damp, but not obvi-
ously so. There was violent beating of blood vessels in the
forehead. Heaviness for a brief time when he turned and
(always) when his bowels moved. He was without pain
throughout; nauseous from the first, and he vomited a lit-
tle. On the seventh day, from a suppository, he had three

bowel movements, bilious and formed, watery, very yel-
lowish: at that time he became somewhat delirious, and
had dampness briefly sometimes about the forehead. His
covers over his face. He moved his eyes about emptily,
like one glancing about, and again nodded off. He would
throw the bedclothes off. On the ninth day sweat which
extended to his chest began in the morning, and persisted
until his death. And the fever intensified, and the
delirium. Most of the sweat was about the forehead: his
skin was frightening and whitish, that under his hair as on
a person who has been scrubbed with soap. Distension of
the right hypochondrium. Bilious bowel movement spon-
taneously. On the eighth day marks like gnat bites.
Before the end he coughed up a mushroom-like object
formed as if from mucus, surrounded by white phlegm.
And he had previously brought up a little thin, milky
matter.

arose in the morning heavy headed. He shivered, vom-
ited, head weighed down. Towards night it relented
somewhat until midday. He began to shiver again. Dur-
ing the night he was in a bad way, and on the subsequent
day had acute fever. Violent headache, vomiting much
bile, most of it leek-colored. All symptoms relented, there
was sleep towards night. In the morning he was chilled.
Sweat, dampness over much of his body. By the spleen he

ing which suddenly withered away. Towards night, sleep-
less. At the filling of the marketplace the fever became
acute. Nausea, vertigo, pain in the bowel, head pain,
vomit of leek-colored matter, smooth, sticky, like phlegm.
Before sunset all symptoms relented. Sweat of the head,
neck. After the vomit he had a bowel movement, formed,
watery, bilious, neither black nor proper-looking. He was
easier in the night and the subsequent day. Towards night
he was again sleepless. The morning’s vomit was similar
and through the day he was without nausea. The head
pains stopped after the sweat. Towards evening all symp-
toms relaxed. On the ninth day he did not vomit again.
He was warmer. He did not seem feverish in other
respects.* The vessels at his temples leaped. No pain any-
where. There was continuous thirst. On the ninth day
when he got up for the toilet he was very faint. In
response to a suppository he passed black, bilious parti-
cles; what dribbled out was dung-colored. His voice was
broken; he was heavy in his movements, his eyes hollow,
the skin of his forehead tight. Otherwise he breathed
easily and was composed. Mostly turned towards the wall,
lying loosely on the bed, bent, not moving. His tongue
white, smooth. Around the tenth day and afterwards there
were globules in his urine, red with a little white at the
center. On the twelfth day in response to a suppository he
dribbled feces like bile and scrapings. At the time of the
suppository, he was faint. Then his mouth became dry; he
kept rinsing it. Unless the water was very cold he said it
was hot, if like ice, moderately cold; ‘then his thirst
departed. He kept throwing the covers off his chest. He

tant and made little heat. There was redness on both
cheeks. After that, speech slurred. He had fever for one
or two days, and it left him.

85. Androthales suffered from voicelessness, unaware-
ness, and delirium. When these things had stopped he
went about many years, and there was a relapse. His
tongue stayed dry all the time. If he did not rinse it he
could not speak. And it was bitter most of the time.
Sometimes he also had pain at the heart. Phlebotomy
stopped these symptoms, drinking water; melicrat. He
drank black hellebore. No bilious excrement, save a little.
At the end, in winter, he took to his bed; he lost his sense
of himself. Similar affections of the tongue; light fever;
tongue colorless; voice peripneumonic. He threw the cov-
ers from his chest and asked that someone get him up to
urinate; he could not speak clearly, nor was he aware of
himself. They took him to urinate. He died towards night.
He had been in bed two or three days.*

86. Nicanor’s affection, whenever he went out drink-
ing, was terror of the flute girl. Whenever he heard one
starting to play at the symposium, masses of terrors rose

night. But when he heard it in the daytime he not
affected. This continued over a long period of time.>

87. Democles, who was with him, seemed to lose his
sight and become limp. He said he could not go along a
cliff nor cross on a bridge over a ditch of the least depth
for fear of falling, but would go through the ditch itself.
This affected him for some time.*

88. Phoenix’s problem: he seemed to see flashes like
lightning in his eye, mostly the right. And when he had
suffered that a short time, a terrible pain developed
towards his right temple and then around his whole head
and on to the part of the neck where the head is attached
behind the vertebrae. And there was tension and harden-
ing around the tendons. If he tried to move his head or
open his teeth, he could not, as being violently stretched.
Vomits, whenever they occurred, averted the pains I have
described, or made them gentler. Phlebotomy helped,
and hellebore produced variegated matter, much of it
leek-colored.>

89. Parmeniscus had previously been affected by
depression and desire for death, and then again by opti-
mism. One time in Olynthus in the fall he took to his bed,
voiceless. He kept still, hardly attempting to begin speak-
ing. At times he said something, and again voiceless.

Sleep came on, and periodically wakefulness, and tossing
silently, and delirium, and his hand went to his hypochon-
dria as though he was in pain. And at times he turned
away and lay still. His fever was continuous and he was
breathing easily. He later said that he recognized people
who came in. At times for a whole day and night when
they offered water to drink he did not want it, but at times
he would suddenly seize the water cooler and drink it
down. His urine thick like a mule’s. He was cured about
the fourteenth day.*

90. Conon’s (female) servant, who began with a pain in
the head, became delirious; shouting, much crying out,
with some periods of quiet. She died about the fortieth
day. For about ten days before her death she was speech-
less and convulsive.»

91. And Timochareus’ (male) servant, from what
seemed a similar melancholic affection, died similarly in
about the same number of days.°

92. Nicolaus’ son, about the winter solstice, had shiver-
ing after drinking. Towards night, fever. The following
day, bilious vomit, unmixed, in small quantity. On the
third day at the time when the agora was filled, sweat over
his whole body; that stopped and he quickly again became
feverish. About the middle of the night, a chill, acute
fever. In the day at the same hour, sweat; quickly again
feverish; vomit similar. On the fourth day, from water of
linozostis a good movement, formed and moist, but some-
what foul, cinder-like, such as water of linozostis produces,

small suspended particles. He had pains in the left hypo-
chondrium and lower back, from the vomit, he believed.
He inhaled doubly sometimes. Tongue white, and with an
underlying swelling on the right, as if from heat. Thirsty,
sleepless, conscious. On the sixth day the right eye was
greater to look at. He died on the seventh day. The belly
before the end was elevated, and after death his back
became bright red.#

93. Meton, after the setting of the Pleiades, had fever.
Pain in the left side up to the collarbone, so severe that he
could not keep still, and phlegm possessed him. There
was much bilious excrement. Within three days the pain
virtually disappeared, and the fever about the seventh or
ninth. He had a cough, the expectorated material was not
bilious nor was there much of it, but phlegmatic. The
coughing persisted. He nibbled at his food. Sometimes
he went out, as though healthy. But sometimes light fev-
ers seized him for a brief time. There were sweats towards
night. His breathing was more rapid in the fever. His
cheeks were red. Around the thorax a heaviness, and
beneath the armpits and up to the shoulder. The cough
slackened. A drug brought up bilious vomit. On the third
day after the drug, the pus broke forth, the fortieth day
after the beginning of the illness. With purging for thirty-
five more days, he became healthy.

94. Theotimus’ wife, in a semitertian, had nausea and
vomiting; shivering at the time the fever began, and thirst.
As time went on, and even at its beginning, the fever was
extraordinary. When she drank melicrat and vomited, her
shivering and nausea stopped. And later the solution from
pomegranate skin.

95. Diopeithes’ sister in a semitertian had terrible
heartburn at its onset, and it continued all day. And head
pain. So did other women about the time of the Pleiades’
setting. Such symptoms were rarer for the men.*

96. Apomotus’ wife, in a semitertian, at Arcturus’ ris-
ing, terrible heartburn at the onset, and vomiting, and at
the same time hysteric suffocation was obvious, and pains
into the back around the spine. But when the pain was
there the heartburn stopped.

97. Terpides’ mother, who was from Doriscus, had an
abortion of twins after a fall in the fifth month. She was
immediately delivered of one that was in a sort of cloak,
and of the other earlier or later by forty days. But she later
conceived a child. But nine years later she had terrible
pains in the belly for a long time. They sometimes started
from the neck and spine and settled in the lower belly and

same area. When the pains were in the belly, the intes-
tines were elevated, and when it stopped heartburn came
on. There was no choking. There was a chilling of her
body, as for a person lying in water, during the time when
she had the pain. The pains recurred totally or were more
mild than those at the beginning. Garlic, silphium, acrid
substances did not help, nor did the sweet nor the acid,
nor did white wine. But the red wines and baths helped
occasionally. At the beginning there were terrible vomits
and exclusion of food at the time of the pains. And the
menses did not appear.

98. Cleomenes’ wife, when the zephyrs began to blow,
after nausea and fatigue had a pain in her left thorax. It
began from the neck and shoulder. There was fever and
chills and sweat. The fever came first. It did not cease,
but intensified. The pain was dreadful. Cough; matter
brought up, bloody and yellow, in large quantity. Tongue
white. Excrement moderate, watery. Urine bilious. On
the fourth day towards night her menstrual flow came in
great quantity. And the cough, and the expectoration, and
the pain ceased, and the fever was mild.

99. Epicharmus’ wife before delivery had dysentery,

sudden pain in the hip joint at the time her menses failed
to appear. When she had drunk the decoction in beet
juice, her voice was checked during the night and up to
midday. But she could hear, and her mind was clear; she
indicated with her hand that the pain was around the hip
joint.*

for fourteen days, whatever she ate or drank. There was
no fever. Belching, and with contractions a suffocation
went to the heart. Castorium, seseli stopped all symp-

in moderate form, to her flanks. Onion juice, and acrid
wine with milk, and minute amounts of bread with olive
oil.

102. Pausanias’ young daughter, when she ate a raw
mushroom, had nausea, choking, pain in the stomach.
Drinking warm melicrat and vomiting helped, and warm
bathing. In the bath she vomited the mushroom and when
she was about to recover she sweated.

slave. Those of Eratyllus went down on both sides.
Patients were without sweat, lisping from dryness of the
tongue. The bird-winds blew strong and cold, and there
was snow at times out of calm skies. And after the equinox
there was southerly weather mixed with northerly, much
rain. Coughs were epidemic, especially in children. Swel-
lings by the ears in many people, as in satyriasis. There
had been very stormy periods earlier in the winter, with
snow and rain from the north.@

106. The infant of Timonax at two months had erup-

area under the stomach. The swellings became quite red.
When they went down he had convulsions and seizures
without fever for many days, and he died.

107. Polemarchus’ son had previously had empyema
and expectoration. He later had fever and was hydropic,
had swelling of the spleen and asthma; if he tried to climb
a hill he could not; he suffered thirst and sometimes
rejected food. For considerable periods he had dry coughs
in this way. He would relapse, and if his bowels did not
break loose below he became overfull above and the
asthma and suffocation came on more. Finally he had a
catarrh and expectoration, and a cough. And the expec-
toration was thick, yellow, purulent matter. Violent fever.
It seemed to abate and the cough was milder and the
expectoration clean. Acute fever recurred, his breathing
was rapid, he died. He had cold feet and was chilled.
After that his breath was even more constricted. The
urine was stopped. His extremities cold. He died cons-
cious on the third day after the relapse.

108. Thynus’ son, in a burning fever, took no food or
drink. He passed large amount of bilious excrement, with
faintness and much sweat. He was severely chilled. He
was voiceless a whole day and night. He was administered
strained barley broth, and kept it down. He regained his
senses, breathing became normal.

109. After walking about and drinking, Epicharmus’
son got indigestion. The following day in the morning he
was nauseous. After drinking water, vinegar, and salt, he
vomited phlegm. Afterwards shivering seized him. He
bathed while feverish. His chest was painful. First thing

in the morning on the third day a coma came on for a brief
time and he was delirious and there was acute fever. He
had great distress from the disease. On the fourth day,
sleepless. He died.

110. Ariston, with a lesion on his toe, had fever and
mental confusion. Gangrene ran up to his knee. He died.
It was black, rather dry, foul-smelling.

111. The one whose cancer in the pharanx was cauter-

112. Polyphantus, in Abdera, had pain in the head with
severe fever. Urine thin, lots of it, deposits shaggy and
disordered. When the pain in his head did not stop, a ster-
nutatory was applied on the tenth day. Afterwards he had
a severe pain into the neck. He produced urine that was
red, turbid, like a mule’s. His mind was unsound in a
phrenitic manner. He died with powerful convulsions.
Similarly the maidservant of Eualcides in Thasos, whose
urine was shaggy for a long time and who had headaches.
She became phrenitic and died with powerful convulsions.
For, indeed, urine which is shaggy and turbid is a precise
sign of headache and convulsion and death. And the man
from Halicarnassus who lodged in Xanthippus’ house had
ear pain in the winter and headache to an extreme degree.
He was about fifty years old. He had a vein cut by
Mnesimachus. His head was harmed by the emptying and
the chilling, since he was not purulent. He became phren-
itic, died. His urine, too, was shaggy.

113. In Cardia, Metrodorus’ son had pain from the
teeth, mortification of the jaw, and dreadful overgrowth of
flesh on the gums. He was moderately purulent. His
molars collapsed, or else his jawbone.*

114. Anaxenor, in Abdera, had spleen problems and
bad color. And it occurred that it suddenly disappeared
after a swelling had developed around his left thigh. But
not many days later he developed also about the spleen,
like an epinyktis® at first, swelling and hard redness. After
the fourth day a burning fever developed; it all became
livid in a wide circle and rotten. He seemed to get better;
died. But he was purged beforehand and was aware.

115. Clonegus, in Abdera, had a kidney disease. He
urinated much blood, painfully, little by little. In addition
a dysenteric bowel troubled him. He was given, early in
the morning, goat’s milk and a fifth part of water, boiled,
to a total of three cotyls‘ in all. And in the evening roasted
bread, a main dish, beets or cucumber, thin red wine. And
he was given ripe cucumber. When he kept this regimen
his intestines stabilized, and the urine became pure. But
he did drink milk until the urine became restored.

116. A woman in Abdera had a cancer on the chest. It
went this way: bloody serum flowed out through the
nipple. When the flow was interrupted, she died. d

117. Deinias’ child in Abdera: when a small incision
was made at his navel a small fistula was left behind. Once
a full-sized worm came through it. And he said that when-
ever he was feverish actual bilious material came out by it.
The intestine had fallen into this fistula and it was eroded
like the fistula. And it was fissured. And coughing kept it
from staying still.

118. In Python’s child, in Pella, there suddenly com-
menced a great fever, great lethargy, with loss of speech.
Sleep came on and his intestine was hard the whole time.
But when the suppository made from bile was applied,
there was a large bowel movement, and immediately the
disease improved. But soon his belly was elevated again
and the fever intensified and the lethargy in the same way.
When the same evacuation had been accomplished, he
was given a medicine with cardamum, cucumber, and
opium. The bilious matter broke loose, the coma was gone
immediately, the fever had become mild, and he was
relieved in all respects. He had a crisis on the fourteenth
day.

119. Eudemus had severe pain in the spleen. He was
told by the physicians to eat much, drink plenty of light
wine, walk much. There was no change. He was bled from
avein. Food and drink sparingly. Walks increasing. Light
red wine. He recovered.

120. Philistis, the wife of Heraclides, began to have
acute fever, redness of face, from no clear cause. Shortly
afterwards she had shivering in the daytime. When she
was without fever, a spasm developed in her toes and
fingers, and shortly after that she became feverish. She
produced urine that was full of congealed matter, cloudy,
separated. She slept the night. On the second day she had
shivering; her fever increased a little. Her redness was
less and her spasms became more mild. Urine of the same
kind. At night she slept, having lain awake briefly; there
was no discomfort. On the third day she produced urine
of better color, small suspended particles. At the same
hour she had chills. Acute fever. Sweat towards night on
the whole body. Late in the day her skin color changed
toward the jaundiced type. At night she slept straight
through. On the fourth day blood from the left nostril
flowed freely and slight menstrual flow appeared on time.
Again at the same hour the fever became acute. Small
amount of urine with congealed matter. Her bowels, by
nature obdurate, became much more compacted and
nothing passed unless a suppository was applied. She slept
at night. On the fifth day the fever was milder and towards
evening she had sweat all over. And flow of menses. And
she slept at night. On the sixth day she produced, in a
flood, much urine with congealed matter, with a small sed-
iment of uniform color. About midday, she had slight
shivering, she became warm, sweat all over. She slept the
night. On the seventh day she was slightly feverish, but

chest by a catapult, and shortly later there was around him
raucous laughter. The physician who removed the wood
seemed to me to leave the iron in at the diaphragm. He
was in pain. Towards evening he administered a clyster
and a purgative drug below. He passed the first night in
distress, but at daybreak he seemed to the physician and
the others to be better, since he was quiet. The prediction
was that convulsions would be followed by death soon
after. Towards the subsequent night, the patient was dis-
tressed, sleepless, lying on his belly for the most part. On
the third day early he had convulsions. Towards midday
he died.»
